Legere is a conceptual, transmedia artist working at the intersection of painting, sound, sculpture, film, and live performance. A pioneer of what she calls Total Art Synthesis, Legere’s work dissolves boundaries between abstraction and representation, gender binaries, and the material and digital realms, constructing an alternative aesthetic language rooted in Indigenous iconography, speculative storytelling, and DIY technological interventions.

Legere’s work engages with post-catastrophic aesthetics, responding to what she identifies as a state of cultural emergency—a moment in which traditional infrastructures are collapsing under the weight of late capitalism, ecological devastation, and systemic inequity. Her projects incorporate radical participatory methodologies, from large-scale alternative-fuel puppet vehicles to interactive sound sculptures like The Sneakers of Samothrace, developed at Harvestworks.

Her most recent film, The Gender Symphony, has won 16 international film awards to date, including Best Art Film at the Cannes Art Film Festival, Best Experimental Film at the Miami Women’s Film Festival, and Best Story at the LA LGBTQ Film Festival. The film blends digital and hand-drawn animation, performance art, and an original score to interrogate gender roles through the lens of the Hegelian master-slave dynamic.

Her work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, Venice Biennale, Pompidou Centre, and more. A recipient of NYSCA and Jerome Foundation grants, she has held residencies at the Emily Harvey Foundation (Venice), University of Victoria, and the School of Visual Arts. Her works are in the permanent collections of the Leslie-Lohman Museum, the Bundy Museum and in major collections worldwide. Her upcoming project, Children of the River, co-created with marginalized communities along the Hudson River, redefines participatory art as both a radical and restorative act—engaging art not as a commodity, but as an ecological, social, and spiritual necessity.
