Sudanese political artist Khalid Albaih lives in Denmark. Keen to connect the global artistic community, Albaih founded a digital platform called FADAA, putting artists in touch with patrons offering them places to showcase their work. His aim is to build an artistic ecosystem and foster a creative sharing community in the MENA region, whilst promoting freedom of speech. She is bravely drawing lines through global religious & political stereotypes, whilst highlighting the plight of women in her country by touching upon socially taboo topics like divorce & domestic violence. More serious challenges, however, have come in recent times, from political & religious groups threatening her personal safety and looking to silence her.
