Nour Bishouty

Nour Bishouty (b.1986 Amman, Jordan) is a Lebanese-Canadian multidisciplinary artist. She works in different media focusing mostly on video, writing, sculpture, and printed matter.[1] Her interdisciplinary work explores notions of permission and articulation in cultural narratives overwritten by dispossession and displacement,[2][3] and explores gaps in archival memory and the Western production of knowledge and fantasy.[4] In her practice, she proposes artistic strategies that unsettle institutional conventions of classification, order, and the production of value.[5][6] Bishouty's work is featured in the 13th Liverpool Biennial curated by Marie-Anne McQuay.[7]

She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (the University of Jordan) and a Master of Fine Arts degree (the University of Massachusetts). She participated in the Home Workspace Program at Ashkal Alwan in Beirut (2015).[8]

She has exhibited her work at the GTA21 Triennial, Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, Manif d'art la Biennale de Quebec; Cooper Cole, Gallery 44, Toronto; SAVAC: South Asian Visual Arts Centre, Toronto; Darat Al Funun, Amman; Casa Arabe, Madrid; the Mosaic Rooms, London; and the Beirut Art Centre, amongst others. Bishouty's work is in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Canada's Library and Archives, and the Burnaby Art Gallery.[9] amongst others.
