Abstract

This study addresses the multiple geographical and political mobilizations witnessed in Sudan in the 1980s, which reshaped the cultural landscape of its central region. It also traces how these mobilizations stimulated the artists' contribution to the revolution of 2019. The study employs fieldwork data collected via interviewing 22 artists and architects; the data are analyzed through combined qualitative-quantitative approach, which invlove the styles of some interviewed artists. The study concludes that the 1980s mobilizations bridged the gap between art and society by liberating artists from direct political engagements and committing them to the wide social space, depending on the variable of age.
