Old Wishes - Mixed-media Installation

“Old wishes” is a multimedia project that revives the wishes of the Friends of Al-Sibayan magazine, the first magazine for youth in Sudan and the Arab world. The project monitors the written wishes that kids sent to the magazine from 1946 to 1975. The project registers a visit to these children - adults - after more than sixty years to ask them about their wishes at that time. And were they accomplished?
