Leah Capaldi

Leah Capaldi is a Senior Lecturer in BA Fine Art Sculpture at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London. Her interdisciplinary practice explores intersections between sculpture and performance, utilizing video, scent, installation, and participatory elements to challenge viewer engagement and notions of spectatorship.

Research interests focus on redefining audience-performer relationships through immersive sensory experiences. Her work examines how environmental perception influences behavioral responses in gallery settings, employing destabilizing techniques to provoke self-awareness.

Capaldi's international exhibitions include prestigious venues like Matt's Gallery, Serpentine, ICA, and Zabludowicz Collection, with recent shows in South Korea, Berlin, and Holland.
