The Goethe-Institut Sudan, in collaboration with the Humboldt Forum Berlin, presents 'Scattered Memories,' a transcontinental exhibition at the Goethe-Institut Kairo from 1 to 3 May 2026. The show features Sudanese artists working across collage, film, music, performance, food, and storytelling to explore themes of loss, remembrance, and cultural memory. Public programs include discussions, guided tours, and a traditional coffee corner, transforming the exhibition into a space for communal gathering and exchange.
This exhibition matters because it provides a vital platform for Sudanese artists navigating displacement and continuity, using multisensory experiences to probe how memory is shaped and collectively negotiated across shifting geographies. By resisting a fixed site and beginning a journey that mirrors the diaspora it addresses, 'Scattered Memories' insists on presence and cultural resilience in the face of erasure, offering an intimate yet expansive meditation on the fragile architectures of cultural memory.
