Nour Symon

The Egyptian-Quebecois artist Nour Symon presents lyrical, noise-based, and intimate works driven by a desire to highlight the complexity of the interactions between her identities—queer, migrant, and in love with the sounds of the world. Her artistic practice is guided by a passionate convergence of visual arts, concert music, and poetry. Her poetry collection *L’amour des oiseaux moches* (2020) was a finalist for both the Governor General’s Awards and the Émile-Nelligan Prize. Her books, *خول Khawal ou le privilège de la beauté* and *Doux rêves, belles personnes*, were recently published by Éditions du Noroît and Dent-de-lion.
