Asha Kiani (she/her) is an Australian-based multi-disciplinary artist, writer and director working across theatre, film, visual-art, music, and community arts. Raised within a multi-cultural community in country Western Australia, her work is inspired by the diverse threads that weave her identity. Asha’s practice explores the intersection between identity, displacement, home, inherited stories, and the role of art in personal and collective healing.

Asha has created and presented work with The Centre for Stories, Perth Festival, Barefaced Stories, The Blue Room Theatre and Perth and Melbourne Fringe Festival. In 2025, she co-directed Vádyé Eshgh (Valley of Love) with Iranian-Australian Video Artist Elham-Eshraghian Haakansson for Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. With a passion for utilising the arts as a mode of community building and communal healing, she has worked with local and international artists. 

Asha creates work that engages audiences empathetically while fostering dialogue around culture, heritage, and community. Her work as a teaching artist with Barking Gecko Theatre and as Co—founder and Creative Director of The Second Generation Collective has seen her design and facilitate public programs that successfully engage diverse communities, fostering participation, skill-building, and cultural storytelling for all ages and abilities. 

Her passion lies in the essence of play, storytelling and creative magic.
