Alexia Leclercq is the oldest daughter of a Taiwanese and French immigrant family. As a queer interdisciplinary artist from Texas, she is inspired by stories from her childhood of tree spirits, ghosts, and plant medicine, as well as Buddhist and Daoist cosmologies. Her practice explores the entanglements of colonization, traditional knowledge systems, dreams, and ancestral memory.

Alexia’s work expands across poetry, painting, linocut prints, and murals. Her writing has been featured in Atmos Magazine, Al Jazeera, Teen Vogue, YES! Magazine, EMBODIED Magazine, and BRIO, an NYU Undergraduate Literature Journal. She has exhibited paintings at The People’s Gallery at Austin City Hall and Of Color’s Gallery. Alexia also painted a mural on healing and horses in Manor, TX. She was selected for the 2022 Jericho Art and Activism Fellowship in Venice, Italy.

In addition to her poetry and visual practice, as founder and executive director of Land Justice Community School (LJCS), Alexia uses art as both a site of inquiry and tool for resistance. Through projects with youth of color that utilize participatory action research and zinemaking, LJCS shifts narratives and policy around displacement and climate injustices. Her leadership has been recognized by Forbes 30 under 30, the WWF Conservation Leadership Award, and the New York Times Climate Forward Change Maker Award. Alexia graduated from New York University and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
