Community Involvement

Nour Osseiran is an independent researcher, curator, and volunteer paramedic based in Lebanon. Her curatorial interest positions contemporary art, cultural history, and critical social issues at the intersection of social practice and activism. She is particularly interested in curatorial methodologies that challenge institutional frameworks and create more accessible and inclusive platforms for artistic expression. With a background in art history, her projects explore the political relevance of curatorial practice in contested public spheres through exhibitions, artistic commissions, publications, and collaborative initiatives that center conversation as a critical form of knowledge production and arts-making.
