East meets west in style for the fifth edition of the Nour Festival of Arts, which started in London, October 19.
The event boasts a diverse six-week programme showcasing the best in contemporary arts and culture from the Middle East and North Africa.
With events and exhibitions at 20 venues across Kensington and Chelsea, covering every facet of the arts, there is something for even the most eclectic tastes.
Among the exhibitions is a cultural evening featuring an exhibition, talk and screening of a documentary film exploring contemporary architecture and modern life in cities across the region.
The performance strand includes Readings from Syria Speaks: Art and Culture from the Frontline, a selection of readings from an anthology of new writing that documents and interprets the momentous events in the country in the past two years.
