Selected Prose: A work about grief as a grapevine.

Noura Alhariri is a Palestinian writer, designer, and cook using food to explore imagination in the diaspora. Her experiences in the landscapes of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and California are findable in everything she makes. In her practice, food becomes a site of evidence: tracing generations of preservation, separation, longing, and care. Her work takes shape across writing, heritage recipe collection, photography, culinary and medicinal gardening, photography, fermentation, and practicing  indigenous methods of food production. She is currently working on a project documenting non-traditional and orally narrated family recipes titled Yimkin.

The LAX Micro Fest is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, and is supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts and Culture. Los Angeles Performance Practice is also supported, in part, by The Mellon Foundation, The Perenchio Foundation, and the California Arts Council.
