Noha Mokhtar is a Swiss-Egyptian artist, anthropologist and editor based in Zurich. She holds a BA in Photography from ECAL (2011) and another in Anthropology and Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Bern (2016). Her multidisciplinary artistic practice focuses on image—both still and moving—installation, writing, and publishing. Currently a doctoral candidate in Social Anthropology and Critical Media Practice at Harvard University, she is also the co-founder of the transdisciplinary publishing platform Edition Hors Sujet. In 2024-2025 she was a fellow at the Istituto Svizzero in Roma.

Mokhtar's artistic and research practice exists at the crossroads of art and experimental ethnography. She critically examines how we inhabit the world, focusing on the social, material, and aesthetic mechanisms involved in the production and reproduction of spaces, objects, and bodies. How do we shape our environment, and how does it, in turn, shape us? Domestic space, the materiality of everyday life, and biographical narratives are key starting points for her exploration of the interplay between the individual and the collective, the intimate and the monumental.
