Her most recent work, Body and Blood of Christ, has elicited almost as much controversy as Redemption Song, the giant statue of a naked black couple that now stands at the ceremonial entrance to Emancipation Park in New Kingston.
On Wednesday, Facey made another big statement, this time for Jamaica and Jamaican art as her iconic work, Their Spirits Gone Before Them, was installed at the World Bank in Washington, DC for the opening of a major exhibition.
Titled 'About Change', the exhibition is a hemispheric survey of art organised by the World Bank in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the Organisation of American States.
The exhibition showcases emerging visual artists from the member countries of the World Bank Group's Latin America and Caribbean region whose works are inspired by the idea of change.
