A new essay examines Sudanese artist Ibrahim El-Salahi's Prison Notebook, exploring how the loss of freedom reshapes identity. Written during El-Salahi's 1975-76 detention in Khartoum without charge, the notebook blends Arabic calligraphy, drawings and poetry. The article analyses its symbolism and asks how imprisonment transforms the self, renewing attention to one of Africa's most influential modernist painters.
Why now: Renewed interest in El-Salahi's work as a meditation on imprisonment, identity and artistic resistance under authoritarian rule.
