Lauren Halsey's upcoming exhibition 'emajendat' at the Serpentine Gallery will transform the space into an immersive funk garden reflecting community empowerment and cultural narratives.
In emajendat, Halsey creatively combines elements of backyard culture from South Central LA with surrealist elements, inviting visitors to experience the vibrancy of her community through art.
The installation will immerse visitors in technicolored sand dunes and lifelike figurations, with discarded CDs creating prism-like effects that enhance the overall experience.
Halsey’s ability to interlace African diasporic iconography and the maximalism of funk music in her works displays a deep engagement with cultural histories and community issues.
