Excerpts From the Prayer Box: No More Lazy Lover Altar zine by Julia Arredondo

An intimate look into acts of private devotion, the No More Lazy Lover Altar: Excerpts From the Prayer Box zine is a collection of handwritten prayers and intentions that were dropped into a public prayer box as part of the No More Lazy Lover Altar art installation of early 2020. The public art installation provided participants with a video blessing against the woes of having a lazy lover alongside the public prayer box where individuals could petition the higher powers. Currently out of print.
