About Jessica Ashman

Jessica Ashman is a multidisciplinary artist working in animation moving image, painting, installation, music and performance. Ashman’s work aims to explore gender, identity and race, drawing on the wider stories of the Black British diaspora communities she was raised in. Black radical theory and science fiction are also a heavy influence on Ashman’s practice, especially when it comes to narrative world building. As an arts educator, Ashman has been teaching her practice for over 10 years, creating workshops and resources that explore cultural identity, belonging and histories of oppression. Her arts education practice has seen her work with such institutions as Tate (Workshop Artist in Residence 2019 – 2020), ICA, Camden Arts Centre and Wellcome Trust. She is also an associate lecturer in Animation at Goldsmiths.
