Abstract [en]

This study aims to document and capture past and future visions of Sudan’s revolutionary youth. The 2019 Sudanese revolution ousted dictator Omar el-Bashir after decades of authoritarian rule. In the words of its own revolutionaries, this is thanks to a vibrant artistic public sphere on the streets and its connection to online digital dissidence. The Sudanese revolution caused an explosion of  vibrant urban art made by street artists who expressed their thoughts and voices through mural paintings and graffiti. In 2020 and 2022, I conducted fieldwork in Khartoum with the Sudanese revolutionary artists. My study focuses on the role of mural art and graffiti in the Sudanese protests, through digital ethnography, extensive digital photo documentation of revolutionary graffiti street art and photo elicitation interviews with Sudanese revolutionary artists, both on zoom and irl, in combination with organizing a collaborative visioning workshop. My geolocated photographic data are combined with regular and VR360 video data, embedded in a georeferenced ARcGIS storymap that enables everyone to digitally conduct an immersive tour through Khartoum city and virtually visit the sites of important political graffiti. My challenge is how to analyse and interpret the multimodal data to capture the visual cultures surrounding the Sudanese revolution.
