Preamble
Cavewoman was concluded recently (check previous post) and in this post, I will be sharing highlights from the art galleries I visited while making the documentary.
Location
Khartoum, Sudan.
Specifically Khartoum 2
I will share the specific location for each of the galleries in case you wish to visit.
Mojo Gallery
This gallery is small in size but filled with multiple artworks on different surfaces. They range from descriptive art to abstracts.
I was impressed with their warmness and the accessibility to the artworks.
There are art prints to purchase and sculpted works too.
I met an artist who came to display her artwork. She was super friendly and gave her contribution on how I could get supplies.
The curators in the gallery were encouraging too.
They have a percentage they collect for artworks they display and the possibility of having your artwork displayed depends on quality of media and surface and thier interest in the supposed artwork.

Shams Gallery
I laughed more in this place. They were super warm. I met one of the main painters (I forgot his name, my bad 😳). He told me that he travelled to Lagos, Nigeria for an art exhibition. He along with two others were the only ones selected for the program. He said he loves Lagos and would love to visit again. I met him while he was painting and asked few questions which were answered.
With him was another who was probably just a guide in the gallery.
I also met the one who frames the pictures and his English was very good and it was easy communicating with him.
I showed them my artwork (Affection) and they commended and encouraged me to keep practicing. I also got directions to the art store where I could get better and cheaper supplies.

End note
There should be more galleries but these are the ones I visited in the process of creating the last series.
I felt inspired and encouraged after checking these places and even though I felt sad for finding them in the last period of my stay in this location, I am grateful to have still viewed them.
You can visit my art gallery via the ART page 😊.
You are welcomed to view anytime.
