Nadine Ghandour (b. 1993, United Arab Emirates) is an artist whose practice alternates between collecting anecdotes, writing, drawing and sculpture. She holds a BA in Illustration from Camberwell College of Art. She is attentive to scales of looking, paces of moving and distrust in infrastructure. Nadine is deeply sympathetic to paranoias of crashing into shadows and shapeshifting surroundings.
Adjacent to her practice, she works in libraries and archives. She was Library and Research Manager at Jameel Library in Dubai, and Archive Chef at PrintRoom Rotterdam.
