BioClaudia 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 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 collaborates with communities, activists, and experts, prioritising reciprocity and ongoing engagement. She is currently an AHRC-funded PhD Researcher at the Royal College of Art, holding an MA in Environmental Architecture from the Royal College of Art and a BA in Drawing from Camberwell College of Arts.
