Afrodiziak shares the story of his difficult decision to flee Jirief, in order to escape the War. In describing the home that he left behind, Ahmed goes beyond the traditional definition; describing the music studio, his close friendships, and the public spaces where they gathered as the key ingredients of his attachment to his motherland.

Looking forward, at how the Sudanese arts will respond to migration, Ahmed sees an evolution on the horizon but its shape remains unclear as he still continues to process the present.

The Sudan crisis has displaced more than 2 million people since it began on 15th April 2023. Among those forced to migrate for their safety are musicians and creatives who have had their creative practice disrupted by this violent war. As these creative networks are torn apart, their practices will now be a new timestamp in Sudan's long relationship between displacement patterns and the evolution of the arts.

Space Black proudly invites Izzo, Founder of Al Rassa to takeover Oroko Radio's airwaves and curate a diverse lineup of recently displaced Sudanese creatives. Each artist will share the journey of their bodies and craft from A→B within and beyond Sudan. From the early days of their practice, to the monumental shift during the 2019 revolution and now, the outbreak of war.

The collection looks to be the beginning of a critical digital archive; documenting memoirs, sounds and conversations to capture the subsequent patterns of migration amongst creatives due to the 2023 Sudan War.

The show airs on 3rd July 2023, day 79 of the Sudan War.
