| ISPA 2026 Singapore Congress – Zarina Muhammad |
 Zarina MuhammadArtist Zarina Muhammad is an artist, educator, and researcher whose practice unfolds across performance, installation, moving image, sound, and participatory encounters. Working at the intersection of art, ecology, and cosmopolitical thought, her projects engage coastal and intertidal landscapes as sites of memory, relation, and more-than-human witnessing, where land, water, weather, and unseen forces are active participants in shaping shared realities. Her long-term, multi-sited research traces transoceanic crossings and entanglements across Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean, exploring how environmental histories, ritual practices, and embodied forms of sensing shape ways of knowing. Moving between artistic, scientific, and spiritual frameworks, her practice brings together field-based inquiry, material experimentation, and live, relational processes. Zarina’s work has been presented internationally, including the Gwangju Biennale, Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Diriyah Contemporary Art Biennale and Lahore Biennale. She is a lecturer at LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore, where she teaches across Diploma, BA, and MA programmes within the McNally School of Fine Arts.
