Visiting Artist Lecture: Nour Bishouty

Nour Bishouty is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, moving image, works on paper, writing, and artist publishing. Her work attends to fragmentation in history, and the ways knowledge and fantasy are produced and withheld. Bishouty’s work has been exhibited internationally including at Museo Universitario del Chopo (2026), Mexico City; Liverpool Biennial (2025); Cooper Cole, Toronto (2025); Art Jameel, Jeddah (2024), La biennale de Québec (2024);  Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography, Toronto (2022); GTA21 Triennial, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto (2021); Darat Al Funun, Amman (2017); Casa Arabe, Madrid (2016); Access Gallery, Vancouver (2015); the Mosaic Rooms, London (2015); and the Beirut Art Centre, Beirut (2014).

This talk is part of the Visiting Artist Lecture Series, co-presented by the Doris McCarthy Gallery & Studio Art program, Department of Arts, Culture & Media, University of Toronto Scarborough. The theme of this year's series, Stories Held by the Land, invites artists across diverse disciplines and geographies to share insights into their respective practices, approaching the land not as a fixed territory, but as a living site of encounter, responsibility, and transformation. Through their work, they reveal how histories are carried across generations, how communities are sustained through relationships to place, and how more just and resilient futures can emerge from renewed ways of relating to the land.
