The Land Carries: Artists in Conversation

This is a live recording of an event, that took place in November 2025 at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology. ‘The Land Carries – Artists in Conversation’ featured three artists from the Sudan Living Cultures programme at the Petrie Museum. They shared their reflections on their artistic processes and research through the UK's Nile Valley collections; and explored how artistic responses to Sudanese material heritage can hold memory, connect generations, and reframe the narratives of the past from indigenous knowledges. The event featured artists Ahmed Akasha (UK), Dina Nur Satti (USA), and Yasmin Elnour (Bahrain) sharing insights from their four-month research residency at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology. The panel was chaired by Galila Khougali (Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources).
