TAP MAGAZINE ISSUE 19 | Africa's Diaspora Youth Returns

Welcome to Issue 19 of TAP. For the past decade, migration has been one of the leading political issues across the Western World.

The Power of Art - In Conversation with The Muse Multi Studios

An example of an organization that is driven by the importance of Art in Africa is The Muse Creative Studios in Khartoum, Sudan. We had the privilege of speaking to them to learn more about Art in Sudan, and what they are doing to make a difference.

The Muse is a creative enterprise that aims to promote art in Sudan. Founded in 2019 by Reem Al Jeally, it was built off the lack of support and representation of Artists in Sudan.
