Maya Amrami

Maya Amrami is a London-based artist and PhD researcher at the Creative Computing Institute, University of the Arts London. Amrami’s practice-based research explores self-portraiture on social media as a Jewish artist navigating antisemitic perception. Working collaboratively with AI and digital tools, she materialises how she is seen by others, transforming hate speech and algorithmic bias into “Hate Made Self-Portraits”.

Her research investigates how depictions of Jews as monstrous or dehumanised figures persist across literature, media and digital platforms, and how these tropes are amplified and embedded within AI and social media structures. Drawing on psychoanalysis, history, myth and contemporary scholarship on digital culture, Amrami situates her work at the intersection of theory and practice.

Working across multimedia – AI, mobile technologies, textiles, painting, performance, and installation – Amrami reflects on how embedded antisemitism shapes identity and representation in contemporary culture. Amrami began her career as a prop maker in television before moving into fashion design with a focus on textiles and print. Her practice evolved through digital printmaking and now encompasses installations that bring together material craft and digital experimentation.
