Nour Hage is an award-winning British-Lebanese artist, working across textile and digital. Her practice is centred on the exploration of West Asian identities, culture, history & storytelling with a particular focus on the role of women, the supernatural and mental wellbeing.
In her work, she places emphasis on manual labour - in the form of hand-dyeing, embroidery and weaving. The process references generations of women’s manual labour that has gone into the making of textiles and the notions and processes that are inherited through matrilineal transmission of memory. Hage also introduces elements of supernatural and superstitious protection in the form of traditional materials, colours or techniques from the Levant that have been historically used for that purpose.
She was the inaugural Jameel Fellow at the V&A Museum in 2021-22 and was awarded the Boghossian Foundation Prize in 2014. She graduated from Parsons School of Design (Paris) with a BFA in Fashion Design.
She is based between London and Dubai.
