BINT is an interdisciplinary artist creating immersive work across sound, installation, and visual forms, rooted in contemporary expressions of Islamic “folk” arts and traditions.

As a SWANA femme of Egyptian, Pakistani, and American ancestry, she draws from the esoteric tools and craft lineages of her heritage to create multisensory experiences.

Site and audience activation are central to her practice. Her work operates from cultural art forms she grew up around, where craft has historically served communal, ritual, and utility functions beyond ornamentation. Through multimedia processes, she extends these models into the present, creating installations and experiential performances that transform environments into participatory ritual sites.

Lived experiences of diaspora and mixed identity shape the conditions of her work, marked by tension between belonging and distance, dysphoria, exoticism. Rather than resolving these states, her work reflects its dissonance, often drawing audiences into liminal spaces of uncertainty and discomfort.

As a musician and sound artist, BINT works with dissonance, distortion, long-form drones, sampling, and noise to access altered emotional states. She is known for her unconventional use of processed harmonium and multilingual vocals, shaped through analog synthesis, pedals, and cassette tape.

BINT has exhibited and performed internationally, across a wide range of commissions and collaborations including Black Sabbath, Joan La Barbara, Yale Center for Collaborative Arts & Media, ISSUE Project Room, and the Arab American National Museum.
