Dr. Ameera Kawash is an artist who reimagines technology as a medium for resilience, storytelling, and ecological awareness. Her work treats databases as living archives, developing new frameworks for digital heritage and planetary-aware design.
She is the co-founder of Ark Knowledge Networks, which develops AI for low-resource languages and at-risk archives, and Future Botanic, which creates the cultural layer for sustainable infrastructures by transforming environmental data into immersive artworks.
Ameera holds a PhD from the Royal College of Art, where her research explored how artists can creatively retool dominant technologies through frameworks of agency, value, and co-vulnerability.
She has delivered talks and presentations on the ethics of AI and digital technologies at Oxford University, Mawred Thaqafy, WorkTech, and the Photo Ethics Centre, and has appeared on Al Jazeera’s The Stream.
Recognised with prizes from Ars Electronica, the Terra Carta Award, and an Innovate UK Grant, her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Stanford University, the London Design Festival, and the Dubai Design Festival.
