It's all in the details with Nora Zeid

May 26, 2022 • nour tarek elzayat • Season 1 • Episode 6

Egypt is made up of small details to create the most lively of places! People, noises, smells, banners, colors and even buildings. There is a beauty in finding the most beautiful of things in the most unexpected of places.

A place like Cairo demands your full attention but also allows you to nestle into its fast paced style. My guest this episode is an artist who captured all of this hive of activity onto singular artworks.

Nora Zeid is an illustrator, designer, and visual artist based in Dubai. Having worked as a graphic designer for a few years, Nora shifted her focus to her practice. Some of her clients – past and current – include Google, Estée Lauder, VICE and Dubai Design District. Nora has participated in exhibitions including 'Cairo Prints Exhibition - Edition II’ (Cairo, 2021) and SIKKA Art Fair (Dubai, 2019). She held her first solo exhibit entitled ‘Cairo Illustrated: Stories from Heliopolis’ at Taskheel, under their Critical Practice Program, in 2021.
