Chromogenic color print

Gay Block and Malka Drucker collaborated on this work, which appropriates an image of a marriage contract or ketubbah from Livorno. In their reworking of the 18th century marriage contract, the couple has superimposed an image of their wedding portrait, providing a new context to the traditional Jewish ritual object. The artists performed their Jewish wedding ceremony in 1989 surrounded by family and friends. The background of the photograph is a detail of the fabric from which the couple's matching wedding garments were made.

Cindy Sherman, Untitled #211, chromogenic color print

Contemporary art plays a critical role in addressing pressing issues such as the climate crisis, creating paths to upend traditional ways of thinking about our relationship with nature and non-human life. The artists in the publication entitled “The world to come : art in the age of the Anthropocene” make people see the world in a new way. They “engage, contest, and reveal the makings of challenges including colonialism, capitalism, technology, population growth, inequality, displacement, and issues of law, violence, and social justice.” (Page 5, Kerry Oliver-Smith).

This is one of the publications we would recommend for the world leaders at the United Nation’s Climate Change Conference COP27, which began this week.
