Indiana Bicentennial Celebration 2016
Pow Wow
“Pow Wow” is on a wall in downtown Flora and can be viewed 24 hours per day. The theme honors the contributions of Native Americans to the local culture and their place in the history of Carroll County. Based on Terpining’s “Blessing from the Medicine Man,” “Pow Wow” is modeled on projects that insert superheroes in classical works of art. The mural depicts Ironman receiving the blessing from the Medicine Man.
