The #SudanUprising exposition will take place in Montreal as a sign of solidarity with the Sudanese people. The event, supported by Alternatives, will feature 40 artworks by Sudanese artists, as well as film screenings, music and discussions on June 13, 14 and 15.<\/h5>\n

The #SudanUprising Exposition<\/a> is a series of expositions, which have taken place in several major cities around the world, including Berlin, Copenhagen, London, New York, Nairobi, Cape Town, Paris and many others, which aim to draw public attention to the situation in Sudan and the Sudanese revolution. Montreal now has the opportunity to host this exhibition, initiated by a group of Sudanese activists based in Montreal.<\/p>\n

Since December, Sudan has been undergoing a revolution that led to the fall of President Omar al-Bashir, who has been in power for three decades. Demonstrations against the repressive regime have gathered tens of thousands of Sudanese in the streets and squares, with the rallying cry of “Freedom, Peace and Justice.” Women in large numbers, if not the majority in the rallies have played an active role, calling for social change for equality. At present, the call for change for a democratic Sudan is still alive because despite the fall of al-Bashir, military and authoritarian rule remains. The Transition Military Council (TMC) has been the ruling Junta in Sudan since April 11. On Monday, June 3, we learned that the sit-in of the demonstrators in front of the army headquarters was violently repressed, and the military is on the streets to prevent any gathering. In the last three days alone, 101 civilians have been killed and more than 300 injured.<\/p>\n

(*Listen to Duha Elmardi, one of the co-organizers of the exhibition, in Amandla (CKUT), explaining the recent repression in Sudan (start at 20 minutes)).<\/p>\n

In this context, it is important to express our solidarity with the Sudanese people and our continued support for the ongoing popular uprising. Come and discover the 40 works by Sudanese artists and the singular most important moment at these mass demonstrations of the last few months and what they propose.<\/p>\n
