To support Sudanese artists in exile, art curator Rahiem Shaddad of Downtown Gallery in Khartoum, who has been active in promoting contemporary visual art of Sudan since 2019, created a fund to support Sudanese artists. In 2023, he co-curated a group exhibition titled Disturbance in the Nile, including works by Sudanese artists Rashid Diab, Mohammed A. Otaybi, Reem Aljeally and others shown at galleries in Lisbon, Portugal, and Madrid, Spain. Shaddad called Aljeally an example of Sudanese "artists who came after the revolution, when individuality began to emerge in the art world and people began to talk about what happens, not only in collective spaces, but in private spaces."

Aljeally’s artistic style is characterized by a blend of vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and a focus on storytelling. Her works often feature strong female figures and explore themes related to identity, culture, and social issues.
