In December 2018, the uprisings in Sudan began to intensify. I happened to be visiting Khartoum for the first time, invited to witness a dear friend’s wedding, just months after the country’s revolution and just before its descent into civil war. On the brink of a new year, this two week celebration was a pause to reflect and honor the start of several new beginnings. We didn’t know it at the time, but this gathering would be etched in our memories as a relic of what Sudan once was. These images are an intimate view of Sudan in a rare moment between eras.
