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. She has held solo exhibitions in Sudan and Egypt, including Inside The Corner Pink House at Bibliotheque Art Gallery, Cairo (2024) and Middle Voids at the French Institute of Khartoum (2022). Internationally, she has participated in group exhibitions at Almas Art Foundation, London (2025), Melike Bilir, Hamburg (2024), Casa Arabe, Madrid (2024), Saatchi Art Gallery, London (2023), Broteria Art Gallery, Lisbon (2023), Circle Art Gallery, Nairobi (2022), and Eclectica Contemporary, Cape Town (2022) amongst others. She has also been part of art fairs in ARTLIFE Fest in Moscow (2023) and FNB Art Joburg in Johannesburg (2022). Her awards and residencies include Sudan Moves Residency by Goethe-Institut (2020), the Wijhat Art Travel Grant (2022), Goethe Institute Production Fund Award (2023), and won 2nd place at The ANNA Award (2025).

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), Wijhat Travel Grant (2021), Goethe Institute Production Fund Award (2023), 2nd place at the ANNA Award by Latitudes (2025), Curators Lab Residency by Latitudes Online and Art School Africa (2025), and Zeitz MOCAA & UWC Fellowship (2026).
