Reception & Artist Performance | Spirit, Rhythm, Blues: Le’Andra LeSeur

The Hillsborough Community College Art Galleries is proud to present Spirit, Rhythm, Blues, an exhibition of work by Le’Andra Leseur. This exhibition will be on display January 9 – March 2, 2023 at Gallery221@HCC Dale Mabry Campus.

Le’Andra LeSeur (b. 1989, Bronx, NY) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses a range of media including video, installation, photography, painting, and performance. LeSeur’s body of work—a celebration of Blackness, queerness, and femininity—seeks to dismantle systems of power and achieve transcendence and liberation through perseverance. In Spirit, Rhythm, Blues at Gallery221@HCC, LeSeur’s installation encourages viewers to contemplate themes such as identity, family, grief and joy, the experience of invisibility, and the power of language.

LeSeur received a B.F.A in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia and a B.S.B.A from Bucknell University, Pennsylvania. She has received several notable awards including the Leslie-Lohman Museum Artists Fellowship (2019), the Time-Based Medium Prize as well as the Juried Grand Prize at Artprize 10 (2018). LeSeur is represented by Marlborough Gallery in NY, NY.
