The new poetry anthology 'Nour' features contributions from notable figures such as Channing Tatum and Pedro Pascal, curated by Canadian artist Mustafa. The collection addresses profound themes of ceremony, loss, and worship, resonating with Mustafa's personal experiences, especially in light of his brother's tragic death. Mustafa reflects on the complexity of discussing grief and memory while aspiring to create beauty from hardship. The launch event for the anthology highlighted the intersections of art and personal narrative, revealing the significance of this project to Mustafa and its cultural importance.
You told me God wasn't real/ as we sat in the water in the dark that night/ I couldn't see your eyes but I could feel the anger/ in the water.
In my mind I want to talk about my brother, but is that my responsibility? I want to reimagine his memory. I want to write beauty where there wasn't.
You've developed your own language, and your own universe, it's like it's a universe that we all have access to and we all have equal right to enter.
Nour is the most important thing I've ever been a part of.
