Reem Aljeally (b. 1997) is a visual artist and curator with a background in Architecture. Her artistic practice spans painting, installation, and printmaking, centering on space, memory, movement, and self-image. Her paintings focus on introspective female figures, using recurring motifs like cats and plants to evoke comfort, resilience, and emotional depth. Her work has been shown in solo exhibitions in Khartoum and Cairo as well as international exhibitions and fairs across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and North America.

Aljeally’s research and curatorial practice has been intrigued by questions of forming one’s identity in its social context, spaces we inhabit, politics of representation and what shapes the Sudanese contemporary scene. She is the Founder of The Muse multi studios (2019), Bait Alnisa (2021), and Sudan Art Archive (2022), aiming to support, promote, and preserve visual arts in Sudan. 

In addition to her work as an artist and curator, she has served in leadership roles such as the Artist Development Program Coordinator at Ubuntu Art Gallery in Cairo. She has been recognised with awards and residencies including the Sudan Moves Residency (2020), the Wijhat Travel Grant (2021), the Goethe Institute Production Fund Award (2023), 2nd place at the ANNA Award by Latitudes (2025), and Curators Lab residency by Latitudes and Art School Africa (2025). 

Aljeally is currently a fellow at Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA) & University Of The Western Cape (UWC) in Cape Town, South Africa.
