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.
