About this listen

This week, we’re joined by Sudanese graffiti artist, graphic designer, and visual artist Assil Diab, also known as ‘Sudalove’.

When the Sudanese Revolution erupted in 2018 and protesters began to be killed, Assil responded by painting powerful murals honouring those who lost their lives at the hands of the regime. We speak to her about the role of art in resistance and remembrance, and the deep emotional weight behind her work.

Assil also reflects on her connection to Sudan, growing up abroad, the oppression she experienced during the revolution, and how life has changed since she was forced to leave.
