All Sudan Everything

Rushaa on the vanishing Armenian community of Sudan.

Rushaa takes a closer look at the once 1,000-member strong Jewish community in Khartoum.

We speak with Sufyvn, the Khartoum-based producer proving that Sudanese samples make the best hip-hop beats.

Omer Eltigani’s new project is an ambitious one. He’s writing a Sudanese cookbook. The space of knowledge about Sudanese recipes and ingredients has for a long time been a woman’s domain restricted to the privacy of the home and passed down generations orally. The Sudanese Kitchen, Omer’s cookbook-in-the-making, aims not only to provide a physical record of this intimate information but to explore the historical and socio-economic aspects of Sudanese kitchen politics. “The more I worked on it, the more the project became about the link between cuisine and culture and the way they are shaped by the social and political climate.” I recently interviewed Omer to find out more about The Sudanese Kitchen and his thoughts on cooking in diaspora.
