For the first time, basis e. V. is presenting the vibrant, engaging, and personal works of Sudanese artist Amna Elhassan in a comprehensive institutional solo exhibition. On display are her most recent works from the past year, which were created as part of her scholarship awarded by the Martin Roth Initiative in Frankfurt, as well as paintings that relate to a time before the outbreak of war in Sudan in April 2023. 

Elhassan’s work is interdisciplinary and encompasses painting, printmaking, installation, and sound. Her artistic practice is inspired by the physical, mental, and spatial transformation processes experienced by women and children in Sudan and the diaspora. Her artistic formal language is characterised by her use of colour and the dissolution of classical geometries and perspectives, which is inspired by traditional artistic techniques in Sudan.
