Ashley’s work ranges across sound, performances, exhibitions, radio broadcasts, listening events and DJ sets. His practice has a focus on alternative forms of knowledge production within Black music and audio-visual art practices, and is often generated from workshops, collaboration and methods of co-production.
Recent research and projects, including Skylarking, commissioned by Arts Catalyst in 2024, explored the ways western norms of ownership have informed both music circulation and people’s right to access land to think about methods of producing and distributing sound, writing and knowledges beyond borders, spatial constraints and categorisations.
