Dr. Shira Wachsmann is an artist and researcher working across moving image, immersive performance, collage, drawing, augmented reality, the digital and electronic arts. Wachsmann’s approach takes a sensuous and poetic form, often multi-threaded, non-linear, collective, and with emphasis on the contemporary issues of our times: political, post-anthropocene, human-interspecies-machinic-more than human co-evolution, interspersed with war, sexualities, and hope. Their practice-led PhD, "Landscape, War Trauma, Explosion: Re-membering the Moment Before" is an  examination of the complexities of war trauma – how trauma can sink into the common sense of people, undetected; how it can circulate and (re)shape collective consciousness and with it, the very landscape of one’s life. Currently teaches on the Digital Direction programme, School of Communication at the Royal College of Art, London UK. Dr Wachsmann has secured strong backing for her artworks and practice-led research, with invitations for keynote and exhibition across the UK/EU, the Middle East, and the global South.
