Amelia Winger-Bearskin

Amelia Winger-Bearskin is an artist and technologist from the Seneca-Cayuga Nation of Oklahoma. She is the Banks Endowed Chair of AI and the Arts at the University of Florida, where she founded the AI Climate Justice Lab. Her work combines immersive storytelling and ethical AI to address climate change, housing, and the design of Indigenous-led systems of care and kinship.

In 2025, she was awarded the ACLS Digital Justice Seed Grant for her project Stabilizing Futures: Mapping Housing Loss with AI, which explores how data-driven tools can support communities facing climate-related displacement.

She is the creator of Wampum Codes and a former fellow of Stanford, Mozilla, and MIT’s Co-Creation Studio. Her projects have been featured at the Sundance Film Festival, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Through art, code, and collaboration, she builds new tools for justice and imagination.
