Leyla Yenirce

'Leyla Yenirce. Werdegang', Landesmuseum Oldenburg
April 18 – August 23, 2026
Leyla Yenirce was born in Qubînê in 1992 and grew up in Oldenburg as the child of Yazidi refugees. She studied cultural anthropology and fine arts in Hamburg and Bryn Mawr (USA). Since then, she has been working across media on the figuration of feminist resistance.
 

Today, the visual artist lives and works in Berlin. With her solo exhibition at the Landesmuseum Oldenburg, Leyla Yenirce returns to her former hometown, which shaped her perception and sensitized her to cultural issues at an early age. For the exhibition, she draws on impressions from her development—spaces and paths, voices and sounds, images and perspectives—and gives them new expression in painting, video, and installation.
