Faith is heavy, it can weigh us down; but onward we go, carrying the weight. Vela will walk the streets of Boston carrying Malverde.
About Vela Phelan:
A multifaceted artist, Vela Phelan creates rituals and beautifies mundane objects through ceremony, transforming and altering modern and ancient energies into a new universal existence. Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Mexico and Venezuela, Phelan is deeply influenced by modern saints and gods. He is particularly inspired by the “spiritual magic” of Mexico. As an artist and curator, Phelan has presented work nationally, internationally, and on digital platforms. His ICA exhibit will be a video altar action centered around a Mexican folk saint named Jesús Malverde. templeofmessages.com
