About Karike Ashworth
Dr Karike Ashworth is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist-researcher-teacher living and working in Meanjin (Brisbane). Her experimental research practice consists of performance, time-based media, objects and installations. Her practice is informed by a feminist epistemological approach; in that she views the world through a woman’s perspective—always; and uses her practice to build knowledge and understanding of how patriarchal structures like gendered expectations control and contain women.
