Bio
Nour is an award winning multidisciplinary creative. She is Egyptian, was born in Saudi Arabia and lived in Dubai, Egypt and the UK. So, she grew feeling like home was both everywhere and nowhere. In 2020, she co-founded Culture Mocktail; a platform which unfolds and embraces what it means to be a cultural misfit. The platform’s mission is to help people build a deeper understanding of and connection to each part of their colourful cultural identities. It also works to create conversations which allow communities to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and of others.
Project
Culture Mocktail is a platform which unfolds and embraces everything it means to be a cultural misfit; an individual who has meaningfully interacted with multiple cultures and feels as though they can’t be bound by the walls of just one. It delves into the positives and negatives of the experience and works to empower people and help them better understand and embrace their cultural identities and how their cultural influences have shaped them. It does this via engaging workshops and activities, as it helps participants to become better, more self-aware and self-accepting versions of themselves
