Mohammad Omer Khalil: Common Ground

March 28 - June 7, 2026

Blackburn Study Center
323 West 39th St., 2nd Fl

Over the next three years, the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop will foreground its international connections through Global Impressions, a programming initiative that builds on Blackburn’s legacy of solidarity with artists from the Global South, showing how print has functioned as both cultural resistance and diasporic exchange. Mohammad Omer Khalil: Common Ground curated by Amina Ahmed and Jenna Hamed is the first iteration of Global Impressions series, to be held at the Blackburn Study Center, a space dedicated to the history and legacy of Robert Blackburn. 

Mohammad Omer Khalil: Common Ground is a focused survey of work by the New York-based Sudanese artist and master printmaker Mohammed Omer Khalil (b.1936). The exhibition presents a selection of his paintings and printed works spanning six decades, employing collage and offering tribute to the scenes, sounds and syntax influential to Khalil’s visual language. The exhibition program includes stories, discussions, music performances, and poetry readings.
