Mabaki-The remains

In this powerful documentary, we explore the life and work of Adlan Yousif, a sculptor from the war-torn region of Darfur. Influenced by the scenes of oppression and enslavement that surrounded him, Adlan transformed his painful experiences into a compelling artistic voice. Discover how, from the age of seven, he began using scrap metal to create sculptures that tell stories of conflict, resilience, and hope.
Adlan's work reflects the harsh realities faced by countless individuals fleeing war and deprivation. Through his art, he sheds light on the harrowing journeys undertaken by those crossing the Mediterranean Sea in search of a better life-often risking everything on overcrowded "death boats."

Join us as we delve into Adlan's artistic vision, which emphasizes solidarity with societies affected by war. He believes that art transcends political and economic borders, serving as a noble human message that unites people across cultures.
In this documentary, we also explore the significance of the human body in Adlan's work, as he illustrates contemporary struggles and the ongoing fight for freedom. Having lost friends and family to political strife, Adlan channels his grief into his art, creating pieces that resonate with the experiences of thousands.
