Diaspora Dialogs welcomes Laura Facey as an artist member to this site. Laura is a Jamaican based artist renowned for her exquisite installations and powerful sculptures. Her most famous commission is the controversial Redemption Song that has sparked a furious public debate about how the black Diaspora remembers and commemorates past pains and triumphs. Although, I am one of Redemption Song’s critics, I admire Laura’s work [sample slide show below - click "read more" to view] and her feistiness. Laura’s most recent series, ‘The Everything Doors’ demonstrates that she is a resilient artist willing to face and challenge her critics. In this sense, she is a great addition to our conversations and we look forward to her participation and support.
