Annis Joslin is a visual artist and filmmaker based in South East England, UK, with over 20 years experience of working in social contexts rooted in people’s lived experiences. Taking a collaborative approach, often making work through conversations and participatory encounters, she adopts drawing, animation, photography, performance, collage, storytelling and 360 video into film and lens-based work.
People are at the heart of what she does. As an artist educator and facilitator she looks to the unexpected in these conditions of working and produces work emerging from an experimental desire to push visual boundaries and narratives. Working to commission or devising projects, Joslin is adept at intersecting across a range of processes and media including (but not limited to) drawing, collage, zine-making, mark-making, experimental photography, video and filmmaking.
Annis has shown work in the UK and internationally including The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Glyndebourne, People United, The Royal College of Physicians, The National Trust, Tate Exchange, The Women’s Library, The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and Brighton and Hove Pavilion & Museums. Recent screenings include Luleå International Film Festival, Sweden, Courage film Festival Berlin, Fine Arts Film Festival, California and New Digital Planetarium, Athens.
She is lead artist with Project Art Works , collaborates with artist Sarah Cole, as Cole & Joslin and is co-director of Corridor, an arts organisation based in the South East that connects artists, people and places through collaborative lens-based visual arts projects.
