Noor Khan (b. 1994, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) is a community-engaged multidisciplinary artist. Due to constant migration and nomadic ethnic lineage, they were subject to socio-economic and political consequences, such as isolation and surveillance. As a result, their work is an inquiry of human-made designs; encompassing architecture, infrastructure, objects, materials, policy and law that facilitate cultural, political, and socio-economic activity. Noor uses art and design as a collaborative process to cultivate community, reconnect with people, land, and global indigenous value system(s). They have seven years of experience as an artistic producer (project managing the production and exhibition of art), and four years of teaching in the field of art administration. They live in Toronto, Canada, and work internationally.

Noor holds an M.F.A. in Community Arts and a Certificate in Art Education specializing in higher education from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Additionally, they possess a Certificate in Digital Art from Ontario College of Art & Design University (OCADU) and a B.A. in Community Development from University of Toronto. Noor’s practice as an emerging artist has gained recognition from local organizations like Scarborough Arts to national institutions such as the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television. Noor's projects have received support from notable entities such as the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council, FACTOR Canada, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. Their work has been presented at Nuit Blanche (Toronto), AWAKENINGS at Toronto History Museums, MUTEK (Montreal), and more.
