I am a Sudanese-British arts practitioner and project manager working across cultural heritage, community engagement and collaborative practice. I have extensive experience leading festivals, curating cultural programmes and developing international partnerships, with a particular focus on Sudanese heritage and diaspora communities.

My work explores how cultural knowledge is shared, preserved, documented and reinterpreted across different contexts. As the Founder and Artistic Director of Sudafest CIC, I lead a programme of cultural and community-led projects, including festivals, exhibitions and participatory initiatives that celebrate Sudanese culture and foster intercultural dialogue. This includes projects such as Nouggara, which focuses on the preservation of Sudanese musical heritage through traditional instrument-making, documentation and collaboration with artists and diaspora communities in the UK and Egypt. Under Sudafest, I also founded and developed the Bath Refugee Festival, a community-led programme that brings together artists, organisations and local communities to celebrate refugee voices through arts and culture.

I hold an MA in Arts Management from Bath Spa University, which has strengthened my approach to cultural programming, project development and strategic thinking. Fluent in Arabic, English and French, I bring experience working across cultural, academic and institutional environments. I am passionate about working across diverse cultures and committed to creating inclusive, accessible spaces for cultural exchange
