Redemption Song Sculpture
A 3,320-pound bronze sculpture called Redemption Song
unveiled on July 31 in Kingston, Jamaica has become the latest controversy
on the island. The statue portrays two former slaves, a male and a female
standing in a pool of water with their eyes looking towards the sky. Why
the controversy? Both statues are naked as the day they were born and
the man who stands about 11 feet tall has a penis that...well...stands
tall on its own. Some criticize what they observe as inappropriate European
features chiseled in the woman's face.
Emblazoned on the base of the statue are the words of Marcus
Garvey put to music by Bob Marley
in the song that gave the statue its name "none but ourselves can free
our mind." Those who support the statue suggest the controversy over its
nakedness is evidence that Jamaicans may not yet be free from the mental
slavery that Garvey and Marley discussed. Many of Europe's most famous
sculptures are in the nude and are considered works of art.
Does size matter? It appears that the focal point over the debate
has become the man's penis, or to be more specific the size of it. Laura
Facey-Cooper, the Jamaican sculptor who created the statue says "I did
not particularly enlarge that part of the male body to the exclusion of
anything else. He has very strong muscles in his torso and buttocks. Both
the male and female are very well-endowed in every possible way." 
Several Jamaicans are calling for the Patterson administration to remove
the statue from the newly named Emancipation Park in which it stands.
This would not be the first time a statue has been recalled in Jamaica.
During the 1980's sculptor Christopher Gonzales was commissioned to create
a statue to honor the late Jamaican reggae superstar Bob
Marley. After it's completion the government, then led by Edward Seaga
decided that it was not what they were looking for and commissioned Alvin
Mariott to erect another which now stands in front of Jamaica's National
Stadium. Gonzales's statue spent much of the 20 years since in the National
Gallery before its recent placement at the Island Village in Ocho Rios.
At a recent concert in the Emancipation Park given in honor Jamaica's
beloved Miss Lou (Louise Bennett-Coverly)
popular Deejay Tony Rebel pleaded to Jamaica's Prime Minister P.J.
Patterson "Mister prime minister, take down the naked people and put
up a statue of Miss Lou instead." Many of the over 10,000 in attendance
cheered in support. In a release by the sculptor, Laura
Facey Cooper upon the release of the statue she stated "It is my hope
that our Jamaican people will be moved by Redemption Song." She appears
to have gotten her wish...what do you think?

This is a wonderful work of
art, there is absolutely nothing wrong with our nakedness and we need
to come to grips with it.
Name: ChineylComments:"None but ourselves can free our mind." This Sculpture shows (among other things) free mind and speech. Taking it down would only depict that we have not yet moved forward.

Name: maureenComments:The west has taught us to be ashamed of our african bodies and to cover up with materials they sell us at exorbitant prices and sadly enough we are agreeing with them by creating controversy over something this beautiful.
Name: NyaComments:Will some in the carribean ever abandon archaic social concepts?
Lovely piece of artwork.Time to move forward
Name: pan2panComments:we've been taught well, be ashamed of the african body it's suppposedly ugly and by all means let's pass this on to our children-the very irony of the word beneath this statue???
Name: Phil DoyleComments:Its a great piece of work. It screams of rebirth and the innocense of a black Adam and Eve. Its beautiful in a world with far more important things to get upset, it is those that are upset by other peoples nakedness that have a problem. Get over it!
Name: MarvinComments:The outcry is misguided. The real problem in Jamaica is the social deterioration brought on by unemployment, violence and drugs. The statues' nakedness do not depict anything one cannot find in a child's biology book so it is entirely acceptable.
Name: rebekahComments:
there is nothing emancipating about it. just two naked people staring listlessly in the sky, waiting for salvation instead of redemption it seems.
Name: tu-tuComments:i dont have a problem with the nudity aspect of the statue. I just dont think that it has anything to do with the theme.
Name: NiyiComments:I love it / We as a people have our own identity / and we know ourselves / we need not listen to european-mind washed persons about how to express ourselves
Name: EuletteComments: I think this statute represents freedom from being slaves, the feeling of being born again, starting a new life as real people and not as caged animals. I see the removal of the clothes as a symbol of that freedom and should be viewed in that context. Besides, there is nothing shameful about the naked body.
Name: Chris StatonComments:This is in it's natural form .. with everythihng else that is in the media .. whoat is wrong with a symbol of HISTORY .. as long as the elders .. the older ones explain what is represents to the younger generation .. I can see this only making our black society more stronger and more aware of our Heritage.
Name: Comments:The statue should be looked at for what it symbolizes. It is a wonderful work of art and should be allowed to remain where it stands.
Name: tabaComments:Its a beautiful piece. Strong and alive. It shows we are on our way to where we want to be, and we're getting there with pride.
Name: seajayComments:If one wants to express her visions on freedom
with the world than why cant we , the world appreciate
it an look beyond just two naked people and see what that
person was trying to emphasis!
Name: AdeComments:
The artist's interpretation of the Redemption Song is ingenious and, in fact, the nude aspect of her work of art should not be shocking as it is not totally farfetched to see freedom in nudity. I am flying home just to see it...and I am taking lots of friends too! Yeah, Laura, you have certainly added to our Emancipation celebration and TOURISM!!!
Name: Comments:"none but ourselves can free our minds"..nudity is as real as it gets and the sooner our people are able to let go of the old fashion belief that nudity is nasty the sooner we can all move forward. After all other than the Nuns (and these days u never know), who does not get naked with another person? Our population would not be growing otherwise. this is a wonderful thing. Let it shine
Name: Edwin WilsonComments:WE SHOULD'NT BE ASHAME OF OUR NATURAL aFRICAN bEAUTY
Name: AnoneMusComments:Ya man, I agree with the comment above we should not be afraid of our natural African Booty...ah...Beauty ;-)
Name: nojaComments:
Neither for it nor against but I think the theme has been lost. It's the Artist's personal expression only; nutten emancipating and I love my nudity.
Name: SexyteeComments:There is nothing wrong with nude statues but this particular statue is not representative of emancipation. It is my opinion that the artist should have put alot more thought about the idea of emancipation then sculpt accordingly.
Name: BBComments:Theres nothing wrong with the statue. Most of the fuss is because the man has a 'big' penis.
Name: Vale HarcourtComments:Sublime and unforgettable
Name: Comments:
Name: IanComments:It's not about the nudity, people! It's about the size of the penis. You cannot blame the sculptor if she builds from experience...
Name: JuvenileComments:
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS THAT THING!!!!!!!
Name: Comments:If I had not done Art Appreciation, I would probably be reluctant to having a statue as such for public display. In understanding the people's point of view, their education must be taken into consideration. What will happen if they do not consider this a work of art is destruction of the property. Either therefore, the people will have to be educated in the arts or the statue has to be relocated.
Name: Allie-IComments:It is not shameful to be nude, but it is a shame to be ashamed of nudity. The human body is Jah creation, and nudity is a natural state. The nudity of this statue conveys the vulnerability and helplessness of Africans in slavery and since slavery. We "free" people need to emancipate our minds and embrace the beauty of the human body. The greatest riches of Africa are those very bodies, which were stolen and sold into slavery. And frankly, his penis is not that "big". Her breasts are quite full, too - but that doesn't seem to be a controversy... It's ok to see the female body naked, but not the male...?
Name: RobertComments:Nice!
Name: DemitriusComments:Nice penis...
Name: Lexley EarleComments:Full time we go beyond petty morallities and appreciate work of arts. We tends to be afraid of our naturalities, remember we were even strip of our clothing and wip in slavery days........Lets all be proud of our masculinity,and femininity.
Name: Mathurin JeromeComments:If we accept that there were slaves, black african slaves that is, and if we are going to portray them, then we have to portray them the way they were.
Name: Vinetta LaingComments:Oh, what "aesthetic beauty"! This reminds me of the story about Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Let us not equate aesthetic beauty with ignorance. Occasionally we are trapped by our own ignorance, not understanding the true definition of a word or topic. Art is from the Heart and Laura has demonstrated it in her works.
In addition, by definition, Art is "the ability of man (woman) to arrange or to adapt things or conditions to his (her)
own uses (and for us to understand). The creation of works that are, in form, content, and execution,
Esthetically pleasing and meaningful, as in music, painting, literature, architecture, SCULPTURE, etc."
Great job Laura. Keep up the good labor. A W S O M E!
Name: Rob ManfrediComments:
Name: Jana FrostComments:I am a sculptor and find the statue to be exactly as the artist intended-food for the mind..the fact they are naked only adds to the beauty of it. A marvelous job capturing muscle tone and correct human form..art is and will forever be about opinion...and my opinion is that is speaks to freedom-as it should given the topic.
Name: DianneComments:they're rising from the depths and looking upwards...i think the nakedness represents newness. and i think the bodies depicted are both equally well-endowed and in proportion... but more importantly, they are both STRONG and beautiful.
Name: D. DixonComments:The statue is very much a fine piece of art work but it does not capture the whole essence of the term "emancipation".
Name: dixieComments:the statue is most definetly a fine work of art, however we need a statue that will represent and capture the true essence of emancipation. we need a statue that will dictate, to foreigners as well as locals, when they pass the park, that yes this is emancipation park.

Name: Professor L.Comments:Figures of massive dignity, two classical gods. Nobody told me of the brilliant way the base makes it seem as if they're surging upward. Such a complex art work and all the average person can find in it is the size of his penis? Depressing.

Name: Todd KinderfeldComments:How come they didn't make him with an erection? That would have really been making a statement about freedom.
Name: DeniseComments:The whole point of art is that it is free expression of the artist's mind. No one should expect it to conform to any other person's ideals.
Name: WGBComments:There is absolutely nothing wrong with this piece of art. Art teaches, and guides, this sculpture celebrates EMANCIPATION, not only from slavery but from restrictions placed on us by society. There is absolutley nothing wrong with the nude human form. Keep this sculpture and be proud and free. Thank You
Name: Just MeComments:I believe the sculpture is beautiful. There is nothing wrong with it. Everyone seems to be complaining about the man's penis and not about the famale's body. Here goes the typical debate of male v. famale. It's okay for a female to be nude but it's whole 380 when it's a male. Get it together and respect the artist and her art. Maybe you should get your mind out of the gutter and see it for what it really is.
Name: ClarkComments:This is a great statue. To all the people who are obsessing over the man's member, I think that says something about the viewers themselves, not the art. For the love of Pete, it's just a penis!

Name: DaveComments:I feel it is moving and honest portrayal. For those who insist that the man is over endowed, well there are those who say the same about the Statue of David. Both potray young men. Both are in proper proportion for young men. Slavers did not import older men, they looked for young healthy men in their late teens early twenties. David was about 14-16. In that context their bodies are in proper proportion.
Name: GnomeComments:No doubt that some people will never "see" art. They only see something filtered through their lenses. The naysayers must reprioritize... there are more pressing issues that are real obcenities abound.

Name: Gary Comments:The nakedness and the "size" are not offensive in the least. However, the statue doesn't go with the theme as well as it might. There are worse things one might find on the radio, or tv, or cinema.

I want to approve of statue,
but author had better remanufacture the penis of a bronze sculpture.
What is necessary is just to make it "phimosis" like Michelangelo's David sculpture.
A reason is that it can express purity simultaneously with brawniness.
And "it" is not conspicuous.
Thank you for understanding my english.

Name: Nadine N. PeruComments:Tell all the nay sayer's to go way!!! I think that the statue is beautiful. It's positive. Can't people look beyond the fact that there are "body parts" showing! I mean, that's not where it ends! There's meaning behind the statue, look at it and wonder. Look at it and imagine. Grab on to the ART of it all. Ponder on the title of the statue, the meaning behind the title. Let's not limit ourselves to the obvious. Dig deeper people, dig deeper! Great Job!

The only time that mankind was unashamed of his genitals was in the Garden of Eden before he disobediently ate the so called tree of knowledge. Since then even the cave people took care to cover their genitals with leaves. So what is the cry about the west making us feel ashamed of our "beautiful African Bodies." Where are our values?

redemption song
by steve porter ｩ
i am so glad that laura facey cooper
made a statue with a big penis
because presence isss better than absence
a beautiful banana-bronzed rendering of a
handsomely-endowed jamaican standing
next to his equally naked woman
apparently its gotten some people upset
like when larry rivers used frank ohara
and his big cock as a new american prototype
its so obvious they havent forgiven you laura
for making such a stud out of jesus and now
they just want to crucify you once again
but we understand words like freedom
pride liberation and naked humility
and know they dont die on no damn cross.

Name: J. A. CampbellComments:Is this only way we can think of to honour our slave ancestors? Displaying them in the nude is real disrespect to them. Did our ancestors stand in the nude in public for the slave masters and fellow slaves to view them? I don't think so. Would all of you who agree with the way these work of ""ART"" is displayed, make the same "work of Art" of your Mother and Father and displayed them in your front yard for the public to see your mother and father private parts? Even our Coat of Arms from the Arawack days cover their private parts. Do we stand around showing our privates parts to all who want to see? If we realy understood what our slaves ancestors went trought in slave days, we would find a better way to respect and honour them. The Statues are fine, but cover the nudity please Mr PRIME MINISTER
