In 1972, the world’s largest Confederate monument—a relief carving depicting Confederate figures of the Civil War, President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson—was completed on Stone Mountain in Georgia. In the years since, the public park, located 15 miles from Atlanta, has become home to both racist rallies and family gatherings.
Borrowing its title from Alice Coltrane's 1977 autobiography, Le'Andra LeSeur's Monument Eternal captures a journey of perseverance and self-discovery set against the backdrop of Georgia's Stone Mountain. Alongside a body of related works, Le'Seur's titular film—co-commissioned with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust—transforms violence into transcendences.
Monument Eternal is on view at Pioneer Works through December 15, 2024.
