Ameera Kawash is a Palestinian-American artist, writer, researcher & PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art. Her work spans video, 3D imaging, writing, and collaborative practice.

​

She is interested in digital inclusion and trauma-informed approaches to visual arts and design.

​

​

"In my research, I use nested intimacies as a way of exploring complex material relationalities.

 

As a methodology this helps bring sites of intimacy into my research, and research into sites of intimacy.

​

Nesting evokes both the sense of preparing an embodied ground for oneself and an embedded and technical harvesting of different forms of information into one another.

 

Nested intimacies becomes a way of  conducting research and practice in a space of vulnerability and openness, while intimacy reaches beyond the ‘I’ as a biographical, neoliberal, or anthropocentric container towards a relational matrix of close proximities."

​

​

Her collaborative projects explore creating digital spheres of trust and the transitions between private and public media.
