Join artist, researcher, and technologist Jawa El Khash to explore her 3D ceramic collection inspired by 13th century Raqqa, Syria. This 21st century work revives the ancient art movement from Raqqa and looks to the future of museology and digital archaeology. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST  

Jawa El Khash's practice as an artist, researcher and technologist celebrates the technological revival of ancient culture. She adopts holography, web-based simulation, 3D modelling, and virtual reality to archive, re-imagine, and resurrect cultural artifacts. Her creative research dissects the role of technology in archiving art history and the artistic influence of cultural heritage, botanical life, and architectural identity.  

El Khash was the recipient of the InterAccess Media Arts Prize in 2019.
