This announcement comes from the Mestizo Institute of Culture and Arts in Salt Lake City

The Mestizo Institute of Culture and Arts is pleased to present “The Street Bible,” an ongoing series of prints by Jackson, Wyo., artist Aaron Wallis, depicting rappers, drug-dealers, and gang leaders in the context of Christian iconography and the illuminated manuscript. Through a process of counterculture deification, these figures have become lionized in a manner similar to Christian saints. Their rags to riches struggle against the established class structure, and their subsequent persecution, mirror the struggles of early Christian martyrs. Free and open to the public.

P.S.: Aaron Wallis is a member of the WAC artist roster and the winner of a visual arts fellowship. Look him up at https://wyoarts.state.wy.us/wac-artist/aaron-wallis/
