About

Nour Hassan is a multidisciplinary artist from Tāmaki Makaurau, New Zealand, of West Asian heritage. Her practice explores stories that shape decision-making and the physical environments we inhabit.
She is interested in how dominant narratives shape our perception of the world, and in the possibilities of exaggerating, unsettling, or playfully subverting these stories.

Nour is currently completing her Master’s in Arts (History) at Victoria University, Wellington, where her research focuses on how newly formed states craft and negotiate their foundational narratives.
She holds a Diploma in Arts (History) from Massey University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design.

In 2024, she was the recipient of the William Hodges Fellowship, a four-month art residency in Southland, New Zealand. In July 2025, her portrait series Majke/Mothers was exhibited at the Vijećnica in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, to mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre.

She regularly collaborates with creatives from diverse fields to explore new ways of working.
