Amira El Badry is a puppet animator working independently through her studio, Tiny Clouds Studio. Alongside her practice, she is a lecturer at Coventry Cairo University, where she supports students in exploring diverse digital media methods through practical hands-on workshops. Amira holds an MA in script and screen writing. She is currently researching the intersections of fiction and psychosocial themes within Cairo’s cultural context. She aims to connect her studio practice with her academic research, seeing both as complementary parts of her work.

a visual summary of my education:
•
In 2016, she founded Tiny Clouds Studio, a studio that began in the corner of her bedroom that now grew into an independent space where she creates films and animation experiments. In 2026, it evolved into a lab focused on research through animation. You can find it here on Instagram
