The International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) Sharjah Regional Office, the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums of Sudan (NCAM), and The Africa Institute host the “Western Sudan Community Museums Project” starting December 8, 2022.
The Western Sudan Community Museum (WSCM) project began in 2018 to address the role of museums and heritage collections in contributing to peace and social cohesion. The three participating museums in Western Sudan – the Khalifa House Community Museum, Sheikan Community Museum, and Darfur Community Museum – will celebrate the project’s achievements by bringing together Sudan’s diverse heritage from the Nile to the Sahel and exploring its rich history and communities.
The program includes a workshop slated on December 8, 2022, that will gather 30 Sudanese experts from NCAM, ICCROM, and international experts to demonstrate how museums are a hub for educational activities to increase awareness about heritage’s value and potential.
The program also includes a musical and a folkloric performance that will be hosted at the Africa Hall theatre on December 8, 2022, and an exhibition from December 8-12, 2022, at The Africa Institute in Sharjah.
Participation in the folkloric performance and exhibition is free and open to the public.
The event is under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah.
The event is available virtually via Zoom and on Livestream on ICCROM’s YouTube Channel.
