The Muse multi studios announces the fourth issue of مجلة زا ميوز العدد الأول, an interdisciplinary publication dedicated to critical writing, visual culture, and contemporary artistic discourse from Sudan and beyond.
This issue explores “Site and Stance” as both a conceptual and political framework—asking how artists, researchers, writers, and cultural practitioners produce knowledge through practice, and how geography, memory, institutions, conflict, and everyday life shape artistic positions.
At a time when Sudan continues to undergo profound political, social, and cultural transformation, this issue seeks contributions that engage with art not merely as representation, but as a system of knowledge, resistance, and critical imagination.
We welcome submissions from artists, curators, critics, architects, urban practitioners, researchers, and writers working across disciplines.
Art as knowledge
Institutional critique and funding politics
Writing, and visual historiography
Art in public space and everyday life
Authorship, conceptual practice, and contemporary Sudanese art
Formats may include critical essays, research texts, interviews, visual essays, personal reflections, artistic projects, photography, and experimental editorial formats.
Submission deadline: 30 June 2026
Languages: Arabic & English
