Dressed in the bridal finery of Sudan, his mother country, for the video Talitin (‘The Third’, 2023–24), Ahmed Umar performs sinuous wedding dances – coy, flirtatious, at times lavishly suggestive. Coruscating with heavy jewellery, swathed in beaded leather and crimson silk, Umar ornaments himself in a costume he associates with the womanly realm to which he was forbidden access once he reached puberty.

Sudanese-Norwegian multidisciplinary artist Ahmed Umar for My Kali Magazine. Interview by Jamal from JINS podcast, images by Ahmed Umar and translated into Arabic by Nawara B.
“At the intersection of many identities, Ahmed Umar (he/she/they) is a talented cross-disciplinary and performance artist. Drawing on their non-binarity, complex upbringing between Sudan and Saudi Arabia, and life in Norway, Umar works between mediums and platforms to navigate themes of identity and culture, gender and sexuality, religion and authority.”
