Lauren Halsey to create outdoor sculpture park in South Central, Los Angeles

The project builds on Halsey's long-standing interest in centring Black culture in the language of dynastic antiquity, using the pomp and circumstance of canon-approved cultural heritage to elevate Black artistry.

Halsey's park will feature eight sphinxes and eight columns with the head of Egyptian goddess Hathor, adorned with motivational phrases and images of community leaders, opening in spring 2025.

Summaeverythang, Halsey's non-profit, will open a community centre in South Central in 2026, focusing on personal growth, education, and well-being for individuals of all backgrounds, with programming piloted at the sister dreamer installation.
