Haleigh Nickerson (b. 1994) /~~~~-->*pronounced [HAL - eeee]*<--- /is a multidisciplinary artist originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2015, Nickerson received her BA in Art Practice with a minor in Ethnic Studies from the University of California at Berkeley. In 2017, Nickerson earned her MFA in Fine Arts from Parsons: The New School for Design in NYC and is based in Los Angeles . 

Haleigh has been featured in Sotheby's, #GuerrillaGirlsTakeover, Cultured Mag, EDITION by Modern Luxury, Dazed, For Freedoms 2020 Awakening, has exhibited work at Phillips (New York, NY) and has since recently performed at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (Los Angeles, CA). Nickerson's work was selected as part of Amref's 2024 Artball auction hosted by Sotheby's. In 2020, Nickerson was selected for Cultured Mag's  30 under 35 Young Artist List as an up and coming artist to watch in 2021.  Nickerson is currently a 2023 LACMA  Art + Technology Program grantee shaping culture at the intersection of identity, hip-hop, innovation + technology with an upcoming community-based social project titled Sojourner's Rovers.

Nickerson draws from her background as a filmmaker deconstructing the act of world-building as her work materializes in representational agglomerations that teeter between personal fantasy, archive, culture, and memory. Her photography, video, performance, and installations exist as compilations of emblematic images, objects, and symbols that coalesce into shifting spaces of identity. Dedicated characters are embodied in these realms, often in fantastical tribute to the strength of Black womxn icons in American culture. Through this practice of reclamation, Nickerson offers visionary frameworks of survival, transformation, care and freedom along the lines of race and gender in America  — while unraveling the complexities of being a womxn.
