TULSA, OK
EXHIBITION INFORMATION
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.
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.
Originally sparked by the artist’s personal reckoning with Stone Mountain, Georgia, the project investigates American landscapes marked by racial terror and the ways these histories remain unmarked, suppressed, or distorted. The exhibition’s central video documents LeSeur repeatedly falling on the mountain’s peak—an act of endurance that transforms physical collapse into a meditation on memory, resilience, and transcendence.
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.
THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 2026
6-8 PM | Doors Open at 5:30 PM

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.

ABOUT THE PARTICIPANTS:

(b. 1989 in Bronx, NY) 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.
