Nahed Mansour is a Toronto-based performance artist.  She positions her Arab body among immigrant and racialized communities in a way that challenges Orientalism, capitalism, and other ‘isms’ that plague colonial-settler powers.  She serves on the Board of Directors of Community Arts Ontario’s Board as well as Fado Performance Inc. where she has been invited to curate Fado’s 2007 Emerging Artist Series.  Most recently, Mansour’s performances have been presented in Nuit Blanche (Toronto, 2006), DSM-V+ (Quebec City, 2006), and 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art (Toronto, 2006).
