Eiman Hussein

Eiman Hussein is a Researcher at King's College London's Department of Film Studies. As an integrative psychotherapist, archivist, and writer, she leads a major archival and creative project since 2020 to preserve the legacy of her father, Hussein Shariffe—an influential Sudanese artist, poet, and filmmaker. Her work intersects cultural heritage preservation with transnational narratives, particularly focusing on Sudanese and diasporic cultural production. The project gained prominence in 2024 through a King's College initiative led by Prof. Erica Carter, addressing the urgent preservation of Shariffe's work amid Sudan's 2023 conflict.

Her research interests emphasize the intersection of art, exile, and cultural memory, leveraging film studies methodologies to document underrepresented creative legacies. While no formal academic publications are listed, her project has garnered attention through institutional spotlights highlighting its role in safeguarding Sudan’s cultural heritage.
