THE NEW YORKER | The Healing Art of Harmonic Vibrations

At Socrates Sculpture Park, Guadalupe Maravilla transforms works of art into therapeutic instruments.

As Maravilla’s star has ascended in art circles—MoMA acquired “Disease Thrower #5,” in 2019—his commitment to sharing his gift beyond those circles has only deepened. Throughout the pandemic, he has been providing sound baths for undocumented immigrants at a Brooklyn church. (Art 21 filmed one of the events for the fine short documentary “Guadalupe Maravilla and the Sound of Healing.”)
