Leslie Anne Condon is a Boston-area multidisciplinary artist and independent curator, interested in Critical Race Art History and issues of representation within the arts. She graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in English and a minor in the Fine Arts. She briefly attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts as a Diploma student and earned her Post Baccalaureate in Fine Art 3D from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2011.

“In 2020, I developed the idea for New Narratives, an exhibition and storyteller series that centers the voices of Boston-area artists and storytellers from our Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander(AAPI) communities. The project has been a way for me to support and uplift my fellow creatives and community members amid the ongoing violence due to COVID-fueled anti-AAPI rhetoric. My own parents fled Laos after the Vietnam War, eventually settling in Lynn, MA. Having known some of their struggles, I feel personally compelled to advocate for the countless stories from the AAPI diaspora that have not yet been told.“
