Dina A. Mohamed is an artist, educator, and researcher based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Her research and artistic practice span diverse interests, with a central focus on exploring political despondency arising from the entanglement of economics, politics, and information technology. She examines how individuals and communities can reclaim political agency within the deterministic logic of technology and the overflow of information—and, crucially, how information can be transformed into knowledge.
Her artistic work has been presented at festivals including Dancing on the Edge (Netherlands), Camden Fringe (London), Short Theatre Festival (Rome), Beyond the Black Box Festival (Amsterdam), Amsterdam Fringe Festival, and Over het IJ Festival (Amsterdam), among others. She is also the co-founder of the Amsterdam-based collective Fuck Healing (?).
Her writings have appeared in Contemporary Art and Capitalist Modernization (Routledge, 2021, edited by Octavian Esanu) and are forthcoming in A Cut Through The Screen – Struggles' Reverberations in Cinema (Archive Books). Alongside her collective, she has contributed to the forthcoming volume Resistance, Activism and Health (Oxford University Press).
Dina’s background is interdisciplinary: she holds a BA in Philosophy from the American University in Cairo, an MA in Art Praxis from the Dutch Art Institute (ArtEZ), and is currently pursuing a PhD at Leiden University.
