Leonie Zebe is a designer and curator focused on spatial design, exhibition design and sustainable material practices. Her work connects design and exhibition-making in site-specific formats that make ecological, social, and material interrelations visible. She is particularly interested in resource use and in how spaces can function as discursive platforms for sustainability. Leonie understands design as a responsible practice embedded within complex ecological and societal systems.
