The Rebirth of Dara Art Gallery

The Dara Art Gallery, originally founded in 1999 by renowned Sudanese artist Dr. Rashid Diab, is undergoing a major rebirth. Reopening under new management and curated by Yafil Mubarak, the gallery launched with an exhibition of Diib’s archived works, particularly highlighting his intricate printmaking (etching) techniques from the 1980s and 90s. The gallery’s renewed mission is to expand its focus, include more contemporary Sudanese artists, and firmly place Sudanese art on the global map.
