Shaun Leonardo, a Brooklyn-based
artist and Co-Director of the arts nonprofit Recess, specializes in multidisciplinary work
that negotiates societal expectations of manhood, namely
definitions surrounding black and brown masculinities, along with
its notions of achievement, collective identity, and experience of
failure. His performance practice, anchored by his work in Assembly — a diversion program for
system-impacted youth at Recess — is participatory and invested in
a process of embodiment. Shaun received his MFA from the San
Francisco Art Institute and is a recipient of support from Creative
Capital, Guggenheim Social Practice, Art for Justice and A Blade of
Grass. His work has been featured at The Guggenheim Museum, the
High Line, and New Museum, and profiled in the New York Times and
CNN. His solo exhibition, The Breath of Empty Space, was presented
at MICA, MASS MoCA and The Bronx Museum. And his first major public
art commission, Between Four Freedoms, premiered at Four Freedoms
Park Conservancy, in the fall of 2021.
