Nour Jaouda

Nour Jaouda(1997) is a Libyan artist who works between Cairo and London. She completed a BA from The Ruskin School of Art Oxford (2018) and is completing a MA at the Royal College of Art (2021). Through painting, textile design and installation art, she explores notions of place and belonging. She is interested in issues of cultural mobility, displacement and the precariousness of cultural identity. Her practice is driven by the tactile process of constructing and de-constructing cultural motifs, found images and historical narratives in order to challenge conventional ideas of identity formation and of otherness.
