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 in diaspora — grounded in Egyptian, Pakistani, American lineages — she translates the esoteric tools and crafts of her heritage into multisensory experiences. By invoking “folk,” she signals living, lineage-based practices while acknowledging the term’s complex historical framing.

As an artist and musician, her current work explores technological uses of applied magic often in public, experiential settings; most recently using combinations of sound, sampling, ritual and various methods of computer-processing to create multisensory experiences.  Her practice investigates the perennial role of the artist-mystic as cultural preserver and liberation worker.

As a musician, BINT turns to a palette of dissonance, distortion, long-form drones, sampling and noise to access corresponding emotional states in herself and listeners–most known for her unusual approach to processed harmonium and multilingual vocals, through analog synthesis, pedals and cassette tape.

She has exhibited and performed internationally, with commissions and collaborations including Black Sabbath, Joan La Barbara, Yale Center for Collaborative Arts & Media, ISSUE Project Room, and the Arab American National Museum.
