Listening to her father's stories accompanied by rare photos of his exile, the songs he taught her, and tasting the cuisine of her Lebanese mother who always spoke Arabic to her, Nur began to ask her first questions about her cultural identity. Then, as part of her art studies, Nur Dasoki explored the art of traditional Palestinian embroidery. But it was after a stay in several Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon that she experienced a second birth: "I am Palestinian, I have the right to embroider like Palestinian women." She then taught herself to embroider and chose to create new patterns related to her current life. Connecting memory and the present is her contribution to the cultural and identity resistance that is so alive in the Palestinian diaspora.
Nur Dasoki continues to create, in dialogue with her father's stories of exile and her own sense of belonging to several places: Ticino, Lebanon, Geneva, and the Zarka camp in Palestine.
