In the Season 1 finale, we speak to Sudanese political cartoonist, Khalid Albaih. Khalid talks about his political cartoons, responding to global events including the so-called Refugee Crisis in Europe, to the revolutions that erupted across the Middle East during the Arab Spring, and the more recent revolution in Sudan. Khalid also describes the risk associated with his work, along with shadow banning on Instagram, and Sudan Retold, an artbook he created featuring 31 Sudanese artists who tell stories from their homeland.
