Venue Support Staff - Ashleigh Djokic

Ashleigh Djokic is a Meanjin based artist who loves exploring the unconscious mind through drawing and animation. Their work finds tenderness in existential thinking with a naive hand-drawn style. Ash is developing a graphic novel/picture book called Nina, where an entropic end to Earth’s ecology pulls a child through time and dimension, where they hope to find a place called home. 

Their most recents works include directing their grad film The Fish, an environmental vignette into the lives of a mother and child visiting the sea (2020, Griffith Film School), and animating for Absolute Objectivity: The Musical (Backbone Youth Arts 2020). 

Ash is currently working on their honours project at Griffith University, which is exploring how postmodern performance practices can impact the creative process for storyboarding and animation.
