Loor Awad

Loor is an aspiring Palestinian curator, writer and cross-stitcher based in Naarm. Her journey has been shaped by and focuses on collective experiences and the ways by which these collectives adapt and persevere to survive. Her practice is strongly influenced by storytelling and the intersection between art and politics, exploring notions of post-memories and dispossession in relation to contemporaneity, time and space.

When not guiding young minds, Sanabel spends her free time crafting verses that reflect her faith and lived experiences. Seeking to create bonds, build bridges and nurture community, Sanabel started performing her poetry and founded Muslims of Naarm (@muslims.of.naarm).
