Amna Elhassan experienced the Sudanese revolution, which was largely led by women, at close quarters. In the film to the exhibition, the artist explains the extent to which the protest movement, which continues to this day, has influenced her art and what drives her in her artistic work.
Amna Elhassan's works are a celebration of female resilience and assertiveness, which she encountered in everyday life in Sudan as well as in the civil uprising against the dictatorial regime of Omar El Bashir. While teaching at the University of Khartoum, the artist witnessed the Sudanese revolution, which was largely led by women and became sadly famous for the massacre in Khartoum in June 2019, at close quarters. In the film to the exhibition “AMNA ELHASSAN. DECONSTRUCTED BODIES – IN SEARCH OF HOME”, the artist reveals the extent to which the protest movement influenced her art, what drives her in her artistic work and how she moved from architecture to painting.
