Who can be this Sudanese Nomad?
This very personal archive belongs to the sudanese writer and current city writer of Graz, Abedlaziz Barka Sakin.
He was born in Kassala, in the eastern part of Sudan.
Because of his literature he had to leave his homeland.
So he became a traveller here in Europe.
He is a great storyteller and a very sensitive observer.
What is important fo a nomad called Baraka?
"A place to stay for thinking and working, books, literature, birds an, what is also very important, herbs from my country: acacia, cloves and incense."
