Voices of the Nile | اصوات النيل - The Creation

Chapter Two - An Interactive Sudanese Arts & Fundraising Experience

Don't just watch the art. Become part of it. ❤️

Following our October gathering, Voices of the Nile returns for its second chapter — The Creation, an immersive evening of Sudanese and African creativity, inspiring stories, artistic expression and community, all in solidarity with Sudan.

This time, we're taking the experience beyond the stage.

Join us at Sister – Renold Building, Manchester, where powerful voices, fresh perspectives and artistic performances meet interactive experiences that invite YOU to become part of the creation.

From thought-provoking talks and poetry to live performances, collaborative artwork and creative workshops, this evening celebrates the power of art to connect people, preserve stories and inspire meaningful change.

Whether you're Sudanese, part of the wider African diaspora, an artist, a creative thinker or simply someone who wants to experience something different while supporting a meaningful cause, you're warmly invited.

🇸🇩 More Than an Event — A Growing Cultural Movement

Voices of the Nile is a series of cultural fundraising experiences celebrating Sudanese creativity, identity, stories and solidarity.

October brought us together.

November invites us to create together.

December will give our stories a space to be remembered.

Through art, storytelling and community, we hope to amplify Sudanese voices while creating meaningful opportunities for people of different backgrounds to connect and stand together for Sudan.

Come for the stories. Stay for the connections. Leave having created something meaningful.

🇸🇩 One evening. Many voices. A shared creation for Sudan. ❤️
