Noor Khan (b. 1994, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and producer of Central and South Asian descent. Their practice spans image, sound, text, and object—working across photo, film/video, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, and writing—to examine how human-made systems, such as infrastructure, architecture, policy, and material culture, shape cultural, social, and economic life. Rooted in lived experiences of migration and a lineage of nomadism, Khan’s work draws on critical texts such as Ghassan Hage’s White Nation, approaching art as a research method and a relational tool—a way to reconnect with land, people, and global Indigenous knowledge systems. 

Khan holds an MFA in Community Arts and a Certificate in Art Education from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), a Certificate in Digital Art from OCAD University, and a BA in Community Development from the University of Toronto. Noor has been artist in residence at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (North Adams, MA), the Doris McCarthy Gallery (Toronto, ON), Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (Toronto, ON) and a fellow at Cranbrook Academy of Art (Detroit, MI). Their work has been recognized by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television and Scarborough Arts, and has been supported by the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council, FACTOR Canada, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. Khan’s projects have been presented at major festivals and institutions including Nuit Blanche (Toronto), AWAKENINGS at Toronto History Museums, and MUTEK (Montreal).
