Noor

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, a first-gen American of Palestinian parents, Noor is currently based in Washington, DC, where she is an activist, organizer, and artist. She focuses on photographs and visual art that situates herself in this world as the child of forcibly exiled Palestinians from Nablus and Jerusalem who migrated to Iraq, Jordan, and lastly, the United States. She critically examines the political and gendered dimensions of life as an Arab woman in the diaspora. Through her work, she complicates the notions of liberation, oppression, culture, and apartheid. Noor holds a BA in Media Studies from the University of Maryland, College Park.
