During Pride Month, discover how an iconic 1930 photograph by George Hoyningen Huene inspired a ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) by Nigerian artist ruby onyinyechi amanze on view now in Scenes from the Collection.
"I responded to the calm intimacy of the couple and their shared forward outlook towards an unknown space," says Amanze. "I also appreciate the anonymity of the figures and have further pushed that in making them not quite human. The exception is that the woman’s hair will be inspired by traditional Igbo hairstyles partly to reference the ongoing hypothesis/research/theory that Igbos in particularly (and other ethnic groups in Africa) are one of the lost tribes of Israel. I’m also interested in quietly highlighting the diversity within Judaism.”
