The Nabta Centre seeks to create an artistic and cultural forum that supports Sudanese artists and musicians who have fled the political pressures and repression of freedoms in Sudan. Since 2009 Nabta has succeeded in becoming a safe passageway that facilitates the entrance of Sudanese artists and intellectuals into similar circles in Egypt.
