Saints, Sinners, and Magicians at the Fowler

The Fowler museum’s newest exhibit, “Sinful Saints and Saintly Sinners at the Margins of the Americas,” opened to the public last week. The exhibit blurs the line between sanctity and sin by featuring a number of folk heroes and unconventional saints from across North and South America. To kick off this magical exhibition, Wacko the Magician performed for dozens of enthralled children in the Fowler courtyard. “The trickster can be a fun role,” explains Wacko, “and that’s what I love to do: share joy and happiness with everyone.”

The “Sinful Saints” exhibit will be shown in the Fowler through July 20.
