Armenian Life in Colonial Sudan — Vahe Boghosian
Vahe Boghosian presents the Sudanahye Project, documenting Armenian heritage in colonial Sudan through archival photographs, oral history, and shared exile paths.
Why we picked this
A diaspora story you've almost certainly never heard — Armenian communities in colonial Sudan, documented before the last living witnesses are gone.
The Sudanahye Project represents a race against time: documenting Sudanese-Armenian history through archival photographs and oral histories while those who remember it are still alive. Vahe Boghosian traces shared paths of exile, British colonialism in Sudan, and its enduring impact on a community caught between empires.
This is the kind of history that disappears without someone doing the painstaking work of preservation. Boghosian’s presentation connects the Armenian experience in Sudan to broader themes of displacement, identity, and the fragile persistence of memory across generations.
