Lauren Fejarang
A Los Angeles-born Pacific Islander, sculptor, and interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Fejarang received her MFA from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA in 2013. Her practice utilizes materials such as concrete and paper, to address questions around contradicting sensations that impinge the body. She has shown her work at MiM Gallery in Los Angeles, Launch F18 in New York, and Coherent in Brussels among others. Along with her art practice, she is also a curator of the artist-run gallery Super Dutchess in New York.

The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Arisa White reading.

She is the co-editor of the anthology Home Is Where You Queer Your Heart and co-author of the middle-grade biography Biddy Mason Speaks Up, winner of the 2020 Maine Literary Award for Young People’s Literature and the Nautilus Book Award Gold Medal for Middle-Grade Nonfiction. Published by Augury Books, Who’s Your Daddy is Arisa’s recently released poetic memoir, which poet Patricia Smith says “unreels like heart-wrenching fragments of film.” She serves on the board of directors for Foglifter and Nomadic Press and is a community advisory board member for MWPA.
