Biography
Amna Elamin is a visual storyteller and creative researcher whose work illuminates political inequities, memory, and the ethical dimensions of human experience.

Elamin has crafted visual narratives and campaigns for Beam Reports and Atar Network, shedding light on pressing social and political realities in Sudan and transforming complex issues into layered, resonant stories. As co-founder and head of the media office of the School Feminist Society, she has conceived projects that amplify marginalized voices, while her volunteer work engages illiterate children in rehabilitation institutions and advances local social causes.
Her practice is driven by a philosophical exploration of how personal and collective histories, imagination, and witness shape knowledge, ethics, and meaning.
