Tiara Roxanne is a  Purhépecha (descendant) Mestisaje (Italian) transnational scholar and artist based in Berlin. 

​Dr. Tiara Roxanne’s work is dedicated to rethinking the ethics of AI through a decolonial cyberfeminist lens. They are currently developing their concepts, digital attunement and the technological haunt, through research and writing. Both of which will be showcased in their book supported by University of California Press, forthcoming 2026.

Dr. Roxanne's concepts expand their theory and critique regarding body memory and hauntology within socio-technical frameworks, asking, how do Digital Technologies shape our nervous systems and memory schemes, and how does hauntology (as influenced by Derrida) provide a toolkit for memory tracing and refusal and even solidarity (or rather, togetherness)?

Furthermore, Dr. Roxanne interrogates how big data and datamining systems govern a colonial imposition through design and (visual) representation. These datamining practices arise from machine learning and artificial intelligence black boxes that lack intersectional intelligence and pre-colonial knowledge systems. 

Their work also explores the notion that decolonization is not possible, we must  establish decolonial gestures, a concept developed in their dissertation,  "Recovering Indigeneity: Territorial Dehiscence and Digital Immanence," which was completed under the supervision of Catherine Malabou. In this way, decolonial gestures stand in as forces and modes of decolonial or anti-colonial embodied actions.  

As a performance artist and practitioner, they work between the digital and the material using textile, from the space of the body as a site of refusal, dehiscence, decolonization and ceremony.  

 By taking a multidisciplinary approach, their research and artistic practice aim at developing a wider scope of understanding, accessibility and critique of AI, Digital Technologies and their impact.  

Tiara also guides consultancy projects by providing decolonial feminist expertise on various AI research plans.
