Favored by St. Felicia candle
Favored by St. Felicia candle
Veladora-style candle to honor African Americans favored by a(n imaginary) saint. These candles populated an art installation in the museum exhibit You’re Not From Around Here, Are You? The tongue-in-cheek shrine to “St. Felicia, Patron Saint of Farewells” explored black identity in the Northwest, an area often assumed to have few or no Black residents before the mid-20th century.
