About

Amna Qureshi, holds a PhD in Arts from the University of Lapland, Finland. She delves into artistic and design experiments, with a primary focus on visual design and design thinking processes. She advocates for arts-based research (ABR) to foster creativity and generate novel ideas. Her curiosity extends to bioart trends, which she sees as avenues for inspiration, curation, and collaborative practices, emphasizing shared experiences and authorship. Qureshi's interdisciplinary approach merges the realms of art, creativity, and bioart with social sciences, revealing the intricate connections between artistic expression, human behaviour, and societal dynamics. Through her research endeavours, she not only deepens the comprehension of visual culture and artistic methods but also illuminates broader social and cultural phenomena.
