In his December 2023 illustrated essay titled "Between Wakefulness and Dreams in Sudan", Sudanese art curator
Rahiem Shadad wrote about the artistic photographic work of photographer Hassan Kamil, who was born and brought up in Berber.

Shadad interpreted the images in the context of the country's economic and social disparities, displacement by the civil war that started in 2023, and the previous decades of Islamist rule under
Omar al-Bashir. ==References==
