Alex DeRoin is a Two Spirit artist and poet of Osage, Otoe, Pawnee, Blackfeet, and Ioway descent, born into the Hominy District of the Osage Reservation. As a community builder and activist, Alex champions the intersectional struggles of marginalized communities, notably through their work with the Tulsa Two Spirit Society and several other organizations. They are the pioneer of Lan𐓈𐒰𐓈𐒰 (Landadaism), a small art movement blending Neo-Dada aesthetics with Landback principles. Their practice challenges dominant narratives on colonialism, society, and gender, aiming to inspire a new generation toward collective liberation. That has been shown in spaces like the Center for Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska.
