Sergio Leyva Seiglie is photographer born in Havana, Cuba and currently based in Sydney, Australia. His photographic work explores how we perceive belongingness and notions of identity such as national and cultural identity, and the interplay between private and public memory.
He was the production manager and photographer on the award winning feature documentary They Are We. The photographs from the documentary became part of the exhibit ‘Victory over Slavery: Haiti and Beyond’ in New York City at the United Nations Headquarters’ Visitor Centre, and part of the UN's International Decade for People of African Descent. They were also featured in publications such as BBC World News, The Atlantic, Clutch Magazine, El Pais, and Harvard's Hutchins Center's Transition Magazine and won the HPA2015 Documentary Award. 
Sergio was also a finalist in Capture Magazine Australasia’s Top Emerging Photographers 2018 in the Doco/Photojournalism category. His photographic work has been showcased in the Aleppo 12th International Photo Festival, in publications such as Incandescent, Then There Was Us, Foto8, Inspired Eye Photography Magazine and in collective and solo exhibitions in Australia, Cuba and Spain.
