Leslie Barlow
Leslie Barlow is a visual artist, educator, and cultural worker from Minneapolis, MN. Barlow believes art and artmaking are both healing and liberatory, through the power of representation, witnessing, and storytelling. Her life-size oil paintings are inspired by community and personal experiences, and they often serve as both monuments to community members and explorations into how race entangles the intimate sphere of love, family, and friendship.
