Le’Andra LeSeur

Le’Andra LeSeur is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans video, installation, photography, and performance. Her work is rooted in examining conditions shaped by racial violence and systemic inequities. Grounded in personal experience yet resonating on a broader scale, her work interrogates how ritual, repetition, and endurance can reclaim capacity and ground us in the corporeal and the poetic. Through the presence of her body and voice, LeSeur crafts immersive experiences that disrupt perceptions and resist imposed narratives, encouraging audiences to engage in deep reflection and recognition around themes of identity, collective memory, and the duality of grief.

LeSeur is the recipient of notable honors, including the Tulsa Artist Fellowship (2024), the NJ Council of the Arts Fellowship (2022), the Leslie-Lohman Museum Artist Fellowship (2019), and the Juried Grand Prize at ArtPrize 10 (2018). Her work has been exhibited at Pioneer Works (NY), MFA Boston, The Shed (NY), Atlanta Contemporary, A.I.R. Gallery (NY), and others. She has held residencies at Pioneer Works, Marble House Project, MASS MoCA, Visual Studies Workshop, and ArcAthens and has lectured at institutions including The New School, Wayne State University, and the University of the Arts. Her work is in the permanent collection of The Whitney Museum of American Art.
