Sina Khani

Sina Khani (born 1982) is a German-Iranian multidisciplinary artist, musician, comedian, and filmmaker, active in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Bochum. He graduated from the Rietveld Academie Amsterdam in 2008, where his graduation project The Sina Khani Show, produced via Mediamatic, mimicked the late-night talk show format with a subversive twist. He is the creator and lead performer of the satirical web series Creeps From The Middle East, a black-and-white, semi-scripted comedy series that blends absurdist humor, mockumentary elements, and social critique. He has released several offbeat singles at Blowpipe Records and is the author of The Artist-Mullah-Construction-Essay. In February 2026, he co-founded the literature magazine The Unsafe Journal, and he is a member of the Amsterdam-based art collective The Unsafe House. His work often divides audiences, with critical commentary questioning whether its shock tactics constitute meaningful critique or performative provocation.
