Based in Australia, Aleisha Zoumaras is a self-taught analogue photographer and second-generation SWANA diaspora.
She sees the lens as a way of holding stories, tracing memory, displacement, and the quiet search for home. Working primarily with film, her practice is shaped by inherited histories and lived experience.
Raised within traditions and stories passed down through generations, she developed a deep appreciation for the resilience of her people and their connection to land. These influences surface through intimate portraits and place-based imagery, often centred on the presence and strength of women.
Grounded in the beauty of everyday moments, her work moves between past and present, inviting dialogue and connection across generations.
