The city is the biggest archive, Urban explorers is a continuous project that started in 2016 that aims to document the life of the city in all Sudan. Through exploring we attempt to create an archive of urban details that go unnoticed and that highlights solutions developed within the city.
Through Urban Episode we provide many tools that are useful when navigating the city. Our services consist of mapping and map development, building documentation, Building records, visual archive, and we also design exploring tours.
