Liz Deep-Jones

Liz Deep-Jones serves as a Fellow in Arts/Media and Activism at the Freilich Project for the Study of Bigotry, Australian National University. With over 25 years of professional experience primarily at SBS TV and NITV, she operates as a journalist, producer, television presenter, published author, public speaker, content creator, art curator, and film maker. Her career is fundamentally oriented toward combating racism and advancing human rights through creative media interventions.

Her research and practice converge on Racism Studies, Human Rights, and Media Studies, exemplified by the 'We Bleed The Same' anti-racism exhibition. This multidisciplinary project integrates documentary filmmaking, photographic installations (featuring 35 portraits by Tim Bauer), and visual design by Brenda Dwyer to challenge prejudice across racial, religious, and cultural lines. Deep-Jones leverages art and media as direct tools for social transformation, emphasizing intersectional narratives of unity.

She received the 2023 Inaugural Arts/Media and Activism Fellowship at ANU, which directly funds her ongoing work with the 'We Bleed The Same' initiative. This award represents institutional recognition of her innovative approach to studying bigotry through activist media.

While no formal student supervision is documented, her fellowship enables public engagement through exhibitions and speaking engagements. The ANU affiliation provides academic infrastructure for her activism, though her role operates distinctly from conventional teaching faculty. Collaborations with photographers, designers, and community stakeholders form the core of her project-based methodology.

Deep-Jones' work functions as a living laboratory where art curation, documentary production, and public installations collectively deconstruct systemic bigotry. Her team-oriented approach centers community voices through visual storytelling, positioning the 'We Bleed The Same' exhibition as both research output and activist intervention.
