Claudia Lehmann is an artist, spatial practitioner, and researcher tracing currents from the high atmosphere to deep subsurface. Her practice examines infrastructures that enclose and extract from hydro-geo-cultural landscapes, utilising fieldwork and embodied methodologies. She grew up in Penwith, Cornwall, amidst mining histories, neolithic structures, and folkloric remnants, attuning her to entanglements of human and more-than-human forces.
Recent research includes non-mono-soon, co-developing ecological toolkits with South Indian communities restoring wetlands disrupted by colonial monocultures and changing climatic rhythms (CLIMAVORE x Jameel Emerging Practice Food Action Award, 2025); Confluences, mapping karstic landscapes threatened by energy developments in Eastern Crete; and metallophyte bal maiden, reclaiming post-industrial sites through mineral archives, labour, and experimental photography.
Claudia’s practice regularly collaborates with communities, activists, and experts. She holds an MA in Environmental Architecture from the Royal College of Art and a BA in Drawing from Camberwell College of Arts.
