Noor Khan (b. 1994, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) is a community-engaged multidisciplinary artist.
Biography edit
Noor was born to Pakistani parents of Pashtun ethnic lineage on October 23, 1994, in Riyadh. She emigrated to London, and finally to Toronto, Canada becoming a Canadian citizen at 16.[1]
Her maternal family emigrated to Toronto, Canada in the 1970s from Lahore, Pakistan, where her paternal side still resides. Her ancestors were from the Kandahar region of Afghanistan and migrated to Punjab region in present-day India in the 1900s. During the India-Pakistan partition, both sides of her family were forced to migrate to present-day Pakistan.
Career edit
Due to constant migration and nomadic ethnic lineage, she was subject to socio-economic and political consequences, such as isolation and surveillance. As a result, her work is an inquiry of human-made designs; encompassing architecture, infrastructure, objects, materials, policy and law that facilitate cultural, political, and socio-economic activity. Noor uses art and design as a collaborative process to cultivate community, reconnect with people, land, and global indigenous value system(s). She lives between Toronto and Lahore, and works internationally.
Noor holds an M.F.A. in Community Arts from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Additionally, she possesses a Certificate in Digital Art from Ontario College of Art & Design University (OCADU) and a B.A. in Community Development from University of Toronto.
