American artist Lauren Halsey’s “sister dreamer” sculpture park opens in Los Angeles.
American artist Lauren Halsey has opened a new public sculpture park titled "sister dreamer" in Los Angeles. The installation, located in the city's historic West Adams neighborhood, features a series of large-scale, fantastical architectural forms that draw on Afrofuturism and the visual culture of the local community.
The project represents a significant, community-embedded public artwork by Halsey, a 2023 MacArthur Fellow, expanding her practice beyond gallery and museum contexts. It provides permanent, accessible art in a neighborhood undergoing change, reinforcing the artist's commitment to celebrating Black culture and vernacular architecture while offering a visionary space for collective gathering and dreaming.
