Enas Satir
Artist
Enas Satir is a Toronto-based artist whose work revolves around politics, issues of race, Blackness and African identity. Her work is inspired by the beauty and complexity of her background and country, Sudan. Enas’s work opens conversations around controversial topics in the complex Sudanese culture, such as the dominance of an Arab culture over the indigenous African culture, the shame often associated with Black skin and slavery in an Afro-Arab society, the marginalizing of mental health issues by conservative religious views and the hopes, highs and lows of fighting for the Sudanese revolution. She uses her art to explore and destigmatize these issues.
