Sister Dreamer opening Block Party celebrated Lauren Halsey making art, moving boundaries and marking a global Black renaissance. It will be here at Western and 76th through November 2027. Check it out!
The LA Times describes it:
Part meeting place, outdoor classroom and recreation space, “sister dreamer” features eight Egyptian-style Hathoric columns standing nearly 22 feet tall, on which Halsey has swapped the ancient goddess for “hyperlocal” heroes, mentors and family members alongside sphinxes and carved reliefs. The sculptures stand as both witnesses and deities.
The Sentinel shares:
At the center of the installation is an oculus honoring the victims of serial killer Lonnie David Franklin Jr., known as the “Grim Sleeper,” who was responsible for the murders of at least 10 Black women in Los Angeles during the 1980s and early 2000s.
