Details
Tulsa Artist Fellowship invites you to join us for the closing program of Le’Andra LeSeur: Monument Eternal, on view at the Flagship through March 26, 2026.
On the occasion of the exhibition's closing, LeSeur brings together Acclaimed Designer, Kamille Glenn, and NDA Haus Founder, Vondell J. Burns, to join her in an intimate conversation on the importance of telling our stories through intentionally cultivated spaces. Music by DJ Kris Harring.
This evolving body of work reflects on the violence of erasure, the weight of silence, and the profound effects these forces have on collective identity and mental well-being. Through video, sculpture, photography, and sound, LeSeur builds an embodied archive of presence where absence has long prevailed.
The most recent iteration of Monument Eternal turns toward Okemah, Oklahoma, and the 1911 lynching of Laura and LD Nelson. Through sculptural and photographic works, LeSeur resists the spectacle of violence by creating quiet alternative memorials that acknowledge histories too often erased.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Le’Andra LeSeur (b. 1989 in Bronx, NY) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses a range of media, including video, installation, photography, painting, and performance. Her body of work, a celebration of Blackness, queerness, and femininity, seeks to dismantle systems of power and achieve transcendence and liberation through perseverance. Through the insertion of her body and voice into her work, LeSeur provides her audience with an opportunity to contemplate themes such as identity, family. The artist has received several notable awards, including the Tulsa Artist Fellowship (2024-2026), Leslie-Lohman Museum Artists Fellowship (2019), the Time-Based Medium Prize, and the Juried Grand Prize at Artprize 10 (2018).. Residencies include Pioneer Works, iLab at The University of the Arts, Visual Studies Workshop, ArcAthens, NARS Foundation, Marble House Project, and MASS MoCA.
