This commitment brings a number of artists to UK audiences for the first time including Saudi photographer Adel Quraishi’s commanding portraits of the last Guardians of the Prophet’s Mosque at Medina; Lebanese dancer and choreographer Pierre Geagea, inspired by the gracefulness and expressiveness of sign language; and soulful Franco-Moroccan singer Hindi Zahra. With over 50 events in 18 venues across 20 days, Nour 2015 presents a strong narrative from artists challenging preconceptions, sparking debate and providing insight into culture from across the MENA region.
