ARTWORK
The genocide in Darfur has
initiated a Contemporary Art Movement involving a young generation
of Sudanese artists. These new artists continue to enrich and
educate the people around them with their unique form of expression.
As a prominent painter, illustrator, sculptor, and graphic designer,
Khalid Kodi sets an example of how art debunks the social issues
surrounding the Darfur Genocide.
In this conference, a group
of young adults react to and discuss the power of African American
artists and writers working together to voice their opinions impel
society to take action against the Darfur Genocide.
As a part
of a visual protest against the genocide in Darfur, Kodi’s artwork
specifically exposes the political and social issues in Sudan. Women
are presented as the greatest victims through his sculptures or
representations of dead victims.
