Leyla Stevens is an Australian-Balinese artist who works within a lens-based practice. Her work has made a significant contribution to expanded documentary genres in Australian video art, as well as exploring the reparative potential of artmaking framed within political and social justice issues. In 2021 Leyla was awarded the prestigious 66th Blake Art Prize for her film Kidung, which engages with Bali’s silenced histories of political violence. Her immersive video installations have been exhibited widely through major national and international institutions, including: Museum of Contemporary Art, TarraWarra Museum, UQ Art Museum, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Artspace, West Space, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Guangdong Times Museum and Seoul Museum of Art. Her latest film project will be presented as a solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in late 2024.
