Abstract
In this photographic essay, I explore the aesthetics and experiences of displacement among peasants in rural northern Sudan who were flooded out of their homes along the Nile during the 2003-2009 Merowe Dam construction project. The radically changing environment shaped people's perception of displacement as they attempted to stay and revive life in their homeland on the shores of the expanding reservoir. In this essay, I try to evoke the sensory perceptions and experiences of a world falling apart-its fragmentation, as well as its simultaneous re-formation-by focusing on what I call the aesthetics of the unfamiliar.
