Yasmine Djedje-Fisher-Azoume

Yasmine Djédjé-Fisher-Azoumé is a multidisciplinary animator, director, and producer based in London. Her work blends digitally drawn 2D animation with traditional paper animation and analogue techniques, drawing thematic and aesthetic inspiration from her West African (Ivorian) heritage. Influences such as African wood carvings, bronze sculptures, ceremonial relics, and the rich textures and colors of textiles and traditional dress serve as the foundation for her evolving artistic practice.
In 2025, Djédjé-Fisher-Azoumé won the Lodestar Award in the animation category, presented by Film London. She recently produced the short animated film Creekmouth (2024) in collaboration with Create London and the Creekmouth Preservation Society. Her previous work includes RAFTS (2023), a collaboration with Turner Prize-shortlisted artist Rory Pilgrim. In 2021, she was commissioned by the V&A to create an original animation for the Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser exhibition. Her short film Dédé screens at MAF2025.
