In this episode, our founder, Nour Hassan speaks to musician and singer Nadine El Roubi.
Nadine El Roubi is a Sudanese artist currently based out of Cairo, Egypt. Through music that blurs the lines between hip-hop, RnB, and neo-soul, Nadine El Roubi hopes to expand the understanding of what it means, and looks like, to be an Arab Muslim woman. Influenced by the likes of Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, and modern popular artists like SZA, Jhené Aiko, and Doja Cat, Nadine enjoys channeling both timeless and contemporary sounds. Having performed in Sudan, Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, Nadine's artistry has reached audiences from various walks of life. After the release of her EP 'Triplicity' in October 2022, Nadine El Roubi will be relocating to the States to pursue music full-time.
We speak about her moving from country to country across the region and finding her sound, meeting people, and launching her career over social media, her upcoming EP, as well as her singles including 'The Woods' that are coming out as we speak.

Hana Afifi: Keys to Growing Up

In this episode, our founder, Nour Hassan speaks to contemporary artist extraordinaire, Hana Afifi.
Hana Afifi is a multi-disciplinary artist and sculptor, hailing from Alexandra, and currently residing in Cairo where she staged her second solo exhibition “The Keys to Growing Up” at her personal workspace and home. The exhibition took place in the very same space that played an integral part in the artist’s personal and artistic evolution, which allowed guests to experience a more holistic appreciation and understanding of the art on display. Her paintings are an invitation into the brilliant and complex mind of the artist; ever-evolving, contemplating, and disrupting, brimming with emotional power and raw energy with the self-taught artist Hana herself being the common denominator.

They speak about the three-year journey of creating her solo exhibition, the keys to growing up, how transformation leads to brilliance, finding joy in the darkest places, capturing the essence of forgotten childhood naiveties, and the significance of the teddy bear in her work.
