Le’Andra LeSeur
Le’Andra LeSeur is an artist whose work delves into the celebration of Blackness, queerness, and femininity. Through her work, LeSeur seeks to dismantle systems of power and provide her audience with an opportunity to contemplate themes such as identity, grief, and how the experience of invisibility and debility exist within the frameworks of our day-to-day lives. LeSeur has received several notable awards including the Tulsa Artist Fellowship (2024-2026) and the Leslie-Lohman Museum Artists Fellowship (2019), among others. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions at LMCC, NY; The Shed, NY; Atlanta Contemporary; A.I.R. Gallery, Brooklyn, and others. Her work is in the collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
