Tiara Roxanne is a Purhépecha Mestiza transnational scholar and artist based in Berlin. They are currently a Guest Professor in Digital Media at HfG-Karlsruhe.
Dr. Roxanne's work rethinks the ethics of AI through an anticolonial, eco-cyberfeminist lens. Her practice investigates how artificial intelligence and digital technologies actively participate in territorial extraction, environmental devastation, and the displacement of Indigenous, marginalized and vulnerable communities globally. By centering Indigenous feminist methodologies, their research reveals how technological progress is bound to colonial legacies inscribed in land, bodies, and memory. They are currently developing the concepts of digital attunement and the technological haunt through writing, performance, and curatorial practice, culminating in a forthcoming book supported by University of California Press (2027). These ideas extend their ongoing investigations into body memory and hauntology within socio-technical frameworks, asking: How do digital technologies reshape our nervous systems and memory schemes? And how might hauntology, refracted through Indigenous feminist and eco-feminist perspectives, provide tools for refusal, solidarity, and collective survival? Or rather how do we Haunt Back? |
Dr. Roxanne has also served on the jury for the Just Tech Fellowship in New York City (2023 & 2024), the Mensch Maschine Fellowship with Akademie der Künste Berlin and E-Werk Luckenwalde (2023–2026), and the Transmediale Vilém Flusser Residency for Artistic Research Fellowship (2025).
Through multidisciplinary research, performance, and teaching, Tiara advances a vision of digital culture that is always already haunted by histories of dispossession and gestures toward ecological, embodied, and relational practices that resist and refuse while imagining futures otherwise.
Tiara has presented at ARS Electronica (Linz), Images Festival (Toronto), Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center (NY), Trinity Square Video (Toronto), Leuphana Univeristy (Lüneberg), European Media Art Festival (Osnabrück), University of Applied Arts (Vienna), SOAS (London), SLU (Madrid), Transmediale (Berlin), Duke University (NC), Cambridge University (UK), Tech Open Air (Berlin), AMOQA (Athens), Zurich University of the Arts (Zurich), Autonomous Intercultural Indigenous University (Colombia), Utrecht University (NL), University College London (UK), University of California (San Diego), Münchener Kammerspiele (Munich), Laboratorio Arte Alameda, (Mexico City), Fuchsbau Festival (Hannover), MUTEK (Montreal), among others.
