"sister dreamer lauren halsey’s architectural ode to tha surge n splurge of south central los angeles" is artist ’s latest and largest project of world-building and fantastical flight. Located on a street where she rode her bike as a child and constructed in a vacant lot that once was home to a community-beloved ice-cream business, her site-specific sculpture park is composed of:
- A courtyard with six water features, fruit trees, vegetables and plants that are native to the project site and surrounding neighborhood
- Architecture clad with concrete panels
- Eight Sphinxes and eight Hathoric columns at two entrances featuring the artist’s personal heroes, family friends, community activists and organizers
- A dedicated programming space for on-site film screenings, health and wellness events, community-centric celebrations, jazz nights, sport activations, lecture series, tutoring, and youth-engaged programs
After our walk, we’ll kick it at Summaeverythang sculpture park and support their grand opening featuring live music, vendors, games and more!
