She completed her MRes and PhD in Humanities and Cultural Studies at the London Consortium, University of London. [2] Gashi is editor-in-chief of the journal Art Studies, published annually by the Academy of Albanological Studies. [3]

Gashi is specialized in cinema and moving image art during the Albanian communist period. She has published about the cinematic work of Albanian artist Armando Lulaj, [4] communist show trials, [5] [6] and the politics or exhibiting communist archives. [7]

As one of the directors of the DebatikCenter of Contemporary Art, [8] Gashi led the open-letter campaign against the demolition of Albanian National Theatre, [9] leading to publications in Albanian, [10] French, [11] Italian, [12] and English, [13] gathering hundreds of signatures. She has linked the artwashing tactics of the Edi Rama government in Albania directly to the eventual destruction of the theater. [14]
