Wyke was instrumental in establishing from 2013 an annual strand of antiquity screenings at the Bologna Film Festival, Il Cinema Ritrovato. This is the largest international festival of archival films, attracting historians of film, archivists, cinema managers, and film fans (in 2016, there were 3,500 delegates from over 50 countries, and 100,000 attendees overall). In 2014 and 2016, the Co-Director of the Festival organised two days of screenings of antiquity films (total audience 520), and Wyke co-organised the associated workshops (total participants 120). Wyke contributed advice and comment on the selection of films and the themes that tied them together, provided entries in the festival catalogues, led the organisation of the workshops, and co-led the discussion with festival audiences.

The Co-Director of the Bologna Festival testifies that 鈥渇or the festival and indeed the studies of silent cinema [Wyke鈥檚] research and interpretations are very important, making clear connections between different medias and cultural productions, bringing new audiences with different ways of access and interest to the films鈥�.聽

Wyke regularly arranges guided screenings of rare examples of silent cinema鈥檚 antiquity films, with live musical accompaniment in a variety of venues nationally and internationally. In total, she has screened 46 films through 16 events held in the academic institutions, museums, cinemas or theatres of 11 cities across 8 countries and 4 continents: London, Oxford, Exeter, Rome, Olomouc, Victoria, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Sydney, Juiz de Fora and Oslo. Approximately 1,550 people have attended in total, comprising the general public, silent film fans, school children and teachers, students and academics. 聽

For university teachers and students in the UK, Australia and the USA, her research has provoked expansion of the traditional curriculum to embrace antiquity on film.聽

Leonard鈥檚 research underpinned her exhibition at the Freud Museum (London), Between Oedipus and the Sphinx: Freud and Egypt, which combined objects from the Freud鈥檚 collections with items from the Petrie Museum, London.聽The exhibition was viewed by 7,980 with an extended reach of 200,000 across 25 countries via online media.聽Due to its popularity, the original exhibition run from 7 August to 12 October 2019 was extended by a further two weeks until 27 October. The聽audience聽included international visitors (60%), school groups (mainly UK-based, aged 16+) and industry professionals (psychoanalysis, psychiatry, psychology).聽

Leonard鈥檚 research on Freud鈥檚 last work Moses and Monotheism and its discussion of Akhenaten and the origins of Judaism prompted her to make its ideas the聽centre聽piece of the exhibition. Freud鈥檚 last work was brought to life by the objects from the Petrie collection excavated at the site of Akhenaten鈥檚 kingdom.聽Visitor surveys found that 82% said that the exhibition changed their understanding of the influence of archaeology and ancient Egypt on Freud's thinking.聽The exhibition catalogue (which sold 300 copies) included essays by Leonard and Anna Garnett, the curator of the Petrie Museum, and explored the cultural and personal background to Freud鈥檚 fascination with Egypt.

Leonard led a series of events at both museums that ran alongside the exhibition. These included guided tours (20 participants), a day course (19 participants) and a symposium at the Freud Museum (40 participants). The participants came from the UK, Australia,聽Sweden聽and Poland and were a mixture of psychoanalysts, students and interested members of the public. The course fee of GBP65 per person helped to raise funds for the Museum鈥檚 archival, research and educational work.

The editor of Pericles at Play writes: 鈥淭he exhibition was hugely evocative, and the research involved unique and new [and] led to the creation of several wonderful and unique pieces of art and聽brand new聽translations that would otherwise not have been conceived鈥�.

In September 2019, a聽sold-out聽public event was held at the Petrie Museum聽on the subject of Egyptomania聽in the Time of Freud, attracting聽120 participants.聽In conversation with the Egyptologist J. J. Johnston, Leonard talked about how her research gave rise to the exhibition.聽The artist Sal Pittman produced a video montage inspired by the themes of the exhibition, which was shown at the聽event.聽The award-winning dramatist聽Michael Eaton鈥檚 play聽Fragments: When Sigmund Freud Did Not Meet Flinders Petrie聽was first performed at the event and聽was聽then published by Shoestring Press in November 2020.聽The exhibition inspired a聽special edition of the magazine Pericles at Play (readership 13,986 in 71 countries)聽which聽included 2 poems, 4 short stories and 6 new translations directly drawing on聽its ideas.聽
