Léllé Demertzi

Léllé Demertzi is an artist and cultural producer based in London. As a Research Project Manager at The Alan Turing Institute, she advocates for open, fair, inclusive, trustworthy and socially responsible AI, while being an AI&Arts Interest Group organiser since 2022.

Her work spanning from performance and video to sound installations has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Athens, Accra, Berlin, Istanbul, Lagos, Lisbon, London, Lucerne, New York, Salzburg, and Zurich. Recurring threads in her artistic practice are matters of identity, belonging and nostalgia, diasporic and collective narratives, the liminal spaces between hallow and mundane, the interplay of myth and memory, language and silence.

She graduated from the School of Architecture, National Technical University of Athens (2017), and completed the MA Raumstrategien at Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee (2019), with a focus on performance art in the public space. She has worked in international art institutions, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, documenta14, Gallery1957, and the Berlin and Athens Biennales. She was awarded the ARTWORKS Fellowship for Emerging Artists by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (2020) and the NEUSTART Kultur prize by Kunstsfonds Stiftung (2022). In 2024, she was nominated for the Forecast Mentorship for Audacious Minds.
