Léllé Demertzi is a Greek artist and cultural producer based in London. Spanning from performance and video to sound installations, her artistic practice revolves around matters of belonging and nostalgia, the interplay of myth and collective memory, diasporic counter-narratives, the liminal space between language and silence. Working at the intersection between body, natural environment and creative technologies, she foregrounds creativity as a space of communal gathering that can transform the scars into stars.

She graduated from the School of Architecture, National Technical University of Athens and the MA Raumstrategien at Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee, with a focus on performance art in the public space. Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Athens, Accra, Berlin, Istanbul, Lagos, Lisbon, London, Lucerne, New York, Salzburg, and Zurich. 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.
