Resilience Beyond Borders
Our vision was to make this festival an annual heartbeat for Omdurman. However, when the war broke out on 15 April 2023, our team and community were forced to leave the country.
The music, however, did not stop. While the conflict changed our location, it could not silence our purpose. Since 2023, the Nogara Project has continued to produce, document, and revive Sudanese heritage from afar. We carry the spirit of that first 2022 festival with us, proving that our culture is a home we carry wherever we go.
