</> WELCOME EVERYONE </>
</> BIO
My name is Israa Abbas, a Sudanese-American archivist who obtained a Master’s Library & Information Science at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee.This is the portfolio of my research and creative projects since being a McNair Scholar as an undergrad at Northeastern Illinois University. My academic/career interests are in digital humanities, library & information science, creative writing, and coding.
</> STATEMENT
I create a form of digital poetry using coding to express the power of freedom of speech needed throughout Sudan, which is lacked in the Sudanese community. Since before the recent on-going revolution (2018-present) in Sudan, poetry has and still is a platform to express themselves. Using my writing and coding skills, I hope to expand on the awareness in the USA and abroad of Sudanese poems written by Sudanese poets to create a Sudanese Poetics Archives. Also, to diversify American libraries by archiving and cataloging cultural writings, while transforming Eurocentric poetry as an act of library activism.
