Lleah Smith practices at the intersection of pedagogy, art, and the curatorial. Since 2013, she has made significant contributions in Australia and Asia, working independently and through institutional roles. Her PhD research at Monash University and the University of Illinois aims to agitate the pedagogy, art, and curatorial relationship by positioning fermentation as a teacher, speculative metaphor and guiding force for change. Smith is dedicated to creating spaces that foster productive agitation within caring environments that enable difference to flourish. Notably, Smith will curate the forthcoming anti-symposium; arts pedagogy as social practice, Malmö Konstmuseum (2025). She has realised the Radical Care Kit, Sydney Children’s Hospital (2023-2024), The Waterhouse, 23rd Biennale of Sydney, rīvus (2021-2022), Kaldor Studio, Kaldor Public Art Projects x Art Gallery of NSW (2019), do it (homework), Kaldor Public Art Projects (2018).
