"Noor and the Kurta" is short supplementary film featured in the Whitworth Gallery's 'Traces of Displacement' exhibition.
The video features Noor, a man navigating the complexities of cultural identity amidst migration. Through the lens of a cherished garment, the kurta, Noor's journey unveils themes of tradition, loss, and resilience. Reflecting on his heritage and family's displacement, the kurta becomes a powerful symbol of nostalgia and empowerment for Noor.
