SNAPSHOTS: NUBIA TEAM SHARES PROGRESS ON EL-KURRU HERITAGE CENTER

The first roofing newly installed — this room will be the office.

The Narrating Nubia team dedicated portions of its Humanities Collaboratory Project Grant to developing exhibit materials and educational programs for a new Community Heritage Center in El-Kurru, Sudan. Additional funding for the center’s physical construction is coming from the J.M. Kaplan Fund and the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum, the team has shared in a new blog post highlighting progress on the project.

This area will eventually shelter traditional Sudanese water jars (zir) that will welcome guests to the Community Heritage Center now under construction.
