Nouf Aljowaysir is a Saudi artist based in NYC. Her practice emerges from the dislocation of migration and the spaces in between cultures, exploring how identity, memory, and technology intertwine. Working across video, archives, and photography, she examines how algorithmic intelligence mediates personal and collective understandings of selfhood.
Her works often emerge from personal, vulnerable conversations with machines, mapping how these encounters reshape notions of self and the performance of identity.
Nouf has been awarded residencies at ThoughtWorks Arts and Somerset House. Her work has been exhibited internationally at galleries and festivals such as Jeu de Paume, Photo Elysée, Centre Pompidou, M+ Museum, Gazelli Art House, and the Tribeca Film Festival, among others.
Her film Ana Min Wein? (Where Am I From?) won the 2023 Lumen Prize for Moving Image and was released by The New York Times Op-Docs series in June 2024.
