Laima Leyton<\/a> (b. 1977) is a Brazilian artist currently based in London, U.K.
Her practice fuses music, performance, education and readymade. Throughout her work, sounds are the main tool to weave unique narratives that include elements of audience interaction. Leyton uses questions and actions to connect herself and the audience. This method is common to her works and collaborations with other artists.<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>\n\n

\n

‘Home’ (released in 2019) is Leyton’s conceptual album about motherhood and domestic life. It was performed in people’s homes until 2022, when Leyton broke the narrative, moved towards a conventional music event, and performed ‘Home’ at The Purcell Room (Southbank Centre).<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>\n\n

\n

During her performances, Leyton modified domestic objects such as the washing machine to play synth sounds and effects such as reverbs and filters. This act is true to Leyton’s practice and brings domestication, migration, spirituality and motherhood into the spotlight.<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>\n\n

\n

Leyton’s residency at Gasworks (as InnerSwell) linked local communities to the making and memory of sounds. She is a resident artist at Gasworks.<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>\n\n

\n

Leyton has received a fellowship from the charity In Place of War and is represented by the Richard Saulton Gallery (London) and as a musician by UTA. For her most recent project, Leyton created a durational performance in response to \u201cActs Of Resistance: Photography, Feminism and the Art of Protest\u201d at the South London Gallery in May 2024.<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>\n\n

\n

Leyton is also a mother, a music producer and part of the Belgian band Soulwax.<\/p>\n<\/external-link-icon><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
