Abstract [en]

In 2019, the Sudanese people managed to bring down an authoritarian regime that ruled the country for over 3 decades. Their visions for change in Sudan can be seen and observed in the large body and collections of graffiti art and mural paintings throughout the public space in the city of Khartoum. Some of these murals give a clear image of how the revolutionaries see and envision the Sudan they want to build (‘Hanabniho’ = ‘we will build’). The term ‘Hanabniho’ derives from a poem written by Mahjoub Sharif and sung by legendary Nubian Sudanese singer Mohammed Wardi; ‘We will build Sudan, how we dreamt it every day, homeland of goodness, homeland of democracy’ It was sung during the 2019 Sudanese Revolution. The creative and imaginary capacities of Sudanese young revolutionaries to imagine Sudan’s future, are the basis for a research project that explores collaborative storytelling and future making through bringing together Sudanese graffiti artist collectives and environmental activists for future visioning exercises to imagine a sustainable future for Sudan. Since January 2020, the author has documented the Sudanese revolutionary graffiti and murals using ArcGIS story mapping in which locations of important mural are geolocated and presented interactively to document and explore important relations between places, spaces and stories. In February 2022, the author conducted ethnographic fieldwork with environmentalists and mural artists in Khartoum. In this paper, she will present preliminary results of the study and participatory future workshopping as a method that she applied during the fieldwork. The goal of the future workshop was to creatively explore how Sudanese graffiti artists and environmentalists can co-create sustainable future visions for Sudan. Both groups exchanged knowledge, discussed SDGs, sketched together and collaborated in telling their stories for earthly survival and human rights with the walls as canvas.
