Noura Alserkal is an interdisciplinary artist driven by excavating the relationships between the known and the unknown. She explores means of uncovering her family history and genealogy through archival research and re-engineered narratives. She encounters an expected materiality with an interrogation of the immaterial; she confounds the commercial and the artistic. Oriented towards uncovering neglected or potentially taboo narratives, Noura’s practice is encapsulated in materials and objects that resonate with experimentation and sharp-edged insight. Unsurprisingly, much of her process lies in the thinking. 
Noura is from the United Arab Emirates and graduated from the Royal College of Art with a Master of Art in Jewellery and Metal (2019). Noura has won various awards such as the Emirati Futurism Award for Jewellery, the ADMAF Design Fund supported by L’ecole Van Cleef, RCA Swarovski Design Award and the Theo Fennell Special Mention award. She has exhibited her artworks in Riyadh, Austria, London, and Dubai. She has also been featured in Louis Vuitton Dubai City Guide. Noura is currently part of the Salama bint Hamdan Emerging Artists Fellowship Cohort 10.
