Leila Jeffreys at BHV-Marais: Australian nature in the spotlight
Her work is presented in the windows of the BHV-Marais during the Colours Australia operation from 29 January to 27 February 2022 with the screening of ‘Nature is not a place to visit. It is home’.

Leila Jeffreys’ artwork allows the French public to discover the uniqueness of Australian nature, to explore the diversity and beauty of its colours and to live an immersive experience among some of its most emblematic birds.
