Zuleika Lebow is an artist and cultural producer born and raised in London. The diverse cultural wealth of the city and its history as a home for migrant communities is central to both her practice and her personal identity.

Her mother is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, born from 19th Century immigrants from the Baltic islands, and her father came to London in the early 1950s from Jamaica.

Lebow’s practice is led by social engagement as a means for personal and societal change. Her practice has three strands:

1. Collaboration, with collectives The Common, Collective Exchange and the Guttural Living project.
2. Personal work, centred around themes of identity, the sick body and lexicon via sculpture, photography and writing.
3. Cultural production, as a facilitator/organiser for feminist network Women of Power and her own platform for marginalised artists, The Blackbird.
