Born London 1983, lives and works in London.
Leah Lovett works collaboratively to make performances, videos, drawings, writings and workshops that explore the socialising fictions played out between people in cities and across mediated space. In so doing, she borrows from other cultural
forms like television, anthropology, and most of all theatre. She is currently researching invisible theatre and spatial politics at the Slade, and works as an arts educator in both gallery and school contexts.
