The Crystalists
1976 onwards · Khartoum · Sudan
A group led by Kamala Ibrahim Ishaq whose 1976 manifesto set out an art of transparency, against the Khartoum School's focus on calligraphy and heritage.

Transparent, layered, crystal-like forms; faces seen through glass; women and the spirits of the zar ceremony.
