Awarded in 2002 at the Dakar Biennale, Nasr exhibited the installation <em>One Ear of Mud Another of Dough, <\/em>work with which he won the Grand Prix of the Cairo Biennale. His work has conquered the international scene in just a couple of years: preferably using very simple expressive tools, Nasr always develops in his works a refined combination of political or social demands, references to traditional materials from the Arab world and sudden poetic openings full of emotion.<\/p>",
