the speaker
niceaunties is the artist behind the Auntieverse, a surreal, AI crafted world of aunties that has reached audiences from TED and Fortune Brainstorm AI to Art Basel and the National Gallery Singapore. Her work reframes ageing, identiy, beauty and care through humour and technology, and has been acquired by L'Oréal and exhibited internationally.
On stage, she speaks to what machines still can't feel: the human instinct for creativity. Drawing on her own practice, she takes audiences from anxiety about AI to a sense of wonder, and champions the place of women in art and technology, exploring how artists can lead, not follow, as these tools reshape culture.
She has delivered keynotes, university lectures and panel conversations across Asia, Europe and North America, sharing stages with leaders from L'Oréal, Publicis Groupe and WIRED.
