Lashonda Love builds worlds. 

They are an interdisciplinary artist creating deeply unsettling and immersive storytelling projects in sound design, experimental media, performance, and any medium that bends to their will. Lashonda’s work keeps returning to the same messes: diaspora, belonging, decay, and all the ghosts and monsters that shape and haunt contemporary culture.

Lashonda's art has infiltrated and disrupted institutions of higher learning, galleries, libraries, the internet, and IRL public spaces through exhibitions, performances, paper and digital publications, community initiatives, mark-making, woodland rituals, telepathy, and spiritual possession.

Across their work, Lashonda asserts the same conviction: art gathers people, disrupts and subverts systems of power, expands possibility, and alters the conditions through which we understand and care for ourselves, one another, and the futures we are capable of building. 

Lashonda holds a B.A. in Music from Denison University and is an M.F.A. candidate in Interdisciplinary Arts at the University of Nevada, Reno. They have also inhabited a number of founding, leadership, and service roles across art collaboratives and nonprofits, currently serving as a grant coordinator with the Ohio Arts Council and dedicated to building a more arts vibrant Ohio.
