About the Artist:

Noura is an artist driven by excavating the relationships between the known and the unknown. She explores means of uncovering her family history and genealogy through archival research and re-engineered narratives. She counters an expected materiality with an interrogation of the immaterial; she confounds the commercial and the artistic. Oriented towards uncovering neglected or potentially taboo narratives, Alserkal’s practice is encapsulated in materials and objects that resonate with experimentation and sharp-edged insight.
