Wade and Leta: Stepping Stones

October 8, 2026 6:15 PM – 8:00 PM

Higgins Hall Auditorium, 61 St. James Place, Brooklyn 11238

A woman with long hair in a sculptural black dress sits looking away from the camera, next to a man with short hair in a black jacket, looking into the camera while covering half his face, both against a light grey background.

Our talk traces our progression from graphic designers to artists, and how that shift mirrors the way we live and work. We see life, relationships, and practice as a single ecosystem—nothing separated, everything connected. The people we encounter and the way we move through the world directly shape what we make.

About Wade and Leta

Wade and Leta are a collaborative duo whose practice spans sculpture, painting, installation, and spatial design. Trained as graphic designers and photographers, they have evolved their work into large-scale public artworks and immersive environments shown in New York, London, Tokyo, and Beijing.

Whether through sculptural reliefs or kinetic environments, their work is defined by graphic clarity and a sense of radical optimism. Their shared life fuels an interconnected practice where color, form, and experience move freely between daily living and creative output. Together, they continue to explore how color, form, and space can merge and bring Music To Your Eyes.
