2803: Painting the Path Home: Artist Captures the Precarious Returnee Journeys from Khartoum

The war in Sudan has displaced millions. Like thousands of South Sudanese who lived in Sudan, Jumma Moris Morino had to trek back to his ancestral land. He was not born in South Sudan; he had lived all his life in Khartoum, where he was born. The journey from Khartoum to Juba is not an easy one, and he has decided to tell it the best way he knows how—through fine art on canvas. An exhibition is underway in Juba where Morino is showing 24 of his paintings that depict the precarious journeys from Sudan to South Sudan, where returnees and refugees have sought sanctuary, albeit in less than comfortable conditions. Morino is in conversation with Radio Miraya's Abraham Malek . Recorded: 23.08.2024 Aired: 24.08.2024 Language: Arabic
