Naama Schendar is a London-based educator, performer, researcher, and filmmaker. Her multidisciplinary practice interrogates socio-political norms through the lens of speculative feminism, intentionally shifting perspectives and centering marginalized voices.

A frequent collaborator, Schendar places dialogue and embodied research at the heart of her creative process, viewing the collation of individual and lived experiences as the structural backbone of her artistic narratives. By weaving together diverse sciences—biology, psychology, and physics—with the body and the everyday, her work constructs imaginary new mythologies focused on well-being and care for the human and the more-than-human world.

Schendar holds a BDes from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (Amsterdam, 2005) and an MA from the Royal College of Art (RCA), graduating from the Design Interactions Department in 2015. She subsequently taught at the RCA until 2017 and is currently a Lecturer in the BA and MA Expanded Practice programs at the Design Department at Goldsmiths, University of London, where she is also a School of Design Senior Tutor, a position she has held since 2025.

Her work has been exhibited and presented nationally and internationally, with venues including the Constance Howard Gallery (London), the Southbank Centre (London), the Science Gallery (Dublin), Design Indaba (Cape Town), the World Building Institute (Los Angeles), and Theatre Scope (Kyoto).

Beyond her art and academic practice, Schendar has cultivated a diverse professional career as an actor/performer (starring in leading roles across film, TV, dance, and theatre), a video editor of documentary series, an Art Director in film, and a creative consultant specializing in negotiation and crisis management.

She received awards from the Israeli Ministry of Culture and the Acre Municipality for her project, Screening Theatre—a Palestinian-Jewish theatre group for youth in Acre; as well as from the Rabinovitch-Matan Fund and a Lottery Scholarship for the Arts.
