Designer, TEDx speaker and curator from Bahrain, with practice extending from curating community art projects to art installations. Her areas of interest are cultural identity, design culture, art collaboration and the creative process. Tamadher obtained her Master’s degree in Interior Design in 2010, and completed her PhD in 2019 both from Birmingham City University in the UK. In her doctoral research, she investigates the possible philosophical approaches in contemporary Islamic Design Studies by using curatorial practice of collaborative sessions as methodological tool and an advocate to inform contemporary Islamic design pedagogy and practice. Her academic approach involves viewing curatorial practice as a disruptive form of knowledge that can include the structure and the visual experience of the written thesis.
