AMEERA KAWASH
ABOUT
I am a Palestinian/Iraqi/American artist, writer, creative technologist, and startup founder. My PhD thesis at the Royal College of Art focuses on artistic interventions around value creation in digital economies, redesigning speculative processes to recalibrate care and consent in current media systems.
I have a Psychotherapy & Counselling certificate from Regent's University.
AM4A Gallery
is my digital arts gallery on a metaverse platform (Cryptovoxels).
I will be launching it this spring, so please check back soon!
CURRENT PROJECTS
Or:bital Bloom
is a virtual garden that blooms as companies green. We transform sustainability data into dynamic animations that incentivise and reward corporate environmental action. Our startup is a finalist in Terra Carta's 'Design Lab' competition.
