AMEERA KAWASH
ABOUT
I am a writer, artist, creative technologist, and startup founder. My PhD thesis at the Royal College of Art focuses on digital retooling as an artistic strategy, redesigning speculative processes to recalibrate care and consent in current media systems.
I have a Psychotherapy & Counselling certificate from Regent's University.
CURRENT PROJECTS
is a data-driven artwork that archives and incentivises transitions to green futures. We transform sustainability data into dynamic animations that bloom/grow/morph as companies green.
Our startup won honourable mention in Terra Carta's 'Design Lab' competition.
AM4A Gallery
is my digital arts gallery on a metaverse platform (Cryptovoxels).
I will be launching it this spring, so please check back soon!
