Once a school bus in the United States, "Mariposa Relámpago" (Lightning Butterfly) had a second life as a transportation bus in El Salvador, and has now been transformed into a vibrational healing instrument by artist Guadalupe Maravilla – and his largest artwork to date. Drawing on his personal story of migration, illness, and recovery aided by the use of sound, Maravilla creates works grounded in activism and healing, with the aim of providing tools that can be used to heal oneself.

Guadalupe Maravilla: Mariposa Relámpago is on view at the ICA Watershed in East Boston through September 4, 2023.
