Khalid Kodi, long recognized as a prolific Sudanese-American master artist, has emerged as a central figure working on multi/cross-cultural concepts. He uses contemporary themes for traditional story telling with references to magical realism, intricately layered in textures, symbols, and figures, and by synthesizing colors/rhythms.
His past series have included works on human phenomena such as wars, genocide and their impact on human societies. These works incorporate sculpture, paintings, installations also environmental sites, and were featured in many national and international venues. Through his work, Kodi advocates for and humanizes victims of war and genocide in Africa and exposes these events to the larger international community. His exhibitions carry an outreach and educational message that promote peace, human dignity and celebrate a rich culture.
Khalid Kodi was born in The Sudan, immigrating to the United States in early-90s. As an African living in America, he has embraced both cultures, communicating elements of both to one another, and using his art as a forum to teach and to bring issues of the civil war in The Sudan to his Sudanese community all over the world. Khalid Kodi is an Adjunct Professor of Fine Arts at Boston College and a resident artist in the African-American Master Artist in Residence Program (AAMARP), an adjunct of the Department of African-American Studies, Northeastern University.

The Spirit of Stories
Khalid Kodi
New York, 11 July 2009
Stories in and about Africa and Sudan are many and diverse. Contemporary discourses about Sudan and Africa often reduce the two into hubs of political unrest, poverty, violence and disease. Indeed these are features of the crises in the continent and in Sudan, but they do not tell the whole story. In this show, I draw upon the African art of storytelling, and on African American blues music to explore and highlight other, silenced stories, experiences, and narratives.
Storytelling is one of the most exciting and loved forms of entertainment, education, and communication in Africa. Generations have grown up in the culture of storytelling. Almost every night, under an extended and overwhelmingly blue sky, children would gather at the feet of a mother, a grandmother, or another storyteller from the extended family, and listen to stories that ignite the mind and keep the imagination constantly engaged and informed. The paintings in this collection emanate from and depict the spirits of these stories.
This show contains three interrelated themes that are all rooted in the African art of storytelling. The first approaches the art of storytelling itself: it suggests gestures as narratives rather than as straight illustrations of events. The second tells stories about, from and for Darfur.
The third series of paintings approach and question texts imprinted on women’s bodies that violate their bodily integrity. This is a story for the next African generation, not to be entertained with, but to struggle with as they form and narrate their future visions and as they mold their own destinies for generations to come.
Adil Kodi will be playing Sudanese melodies, using Oud.
