Shibboleth
21 months ago
Shibboleth—A word or pronunciation that distinguishes people of one group or class from those of another.
The Tate Modern’s current draw card exhibition is Shibboleth by Doris Salcedo. The Tate Modern describes it as “subterranean chasm that stretches the length of the Turbine Hall”. I’d describe it as a big crack. Salcedo says her work expresses a “colonial and imperial history [that] has been disregarded, marginalised or simply obliterated… the history of racism, running parallel to the history of modernity and… it’s untold dark side.”
The word Shibboleth originates from an incident in the bible. In the Book of Judges, the Ephraimites, attempting to flee across the river Jordan, were stopped by their enemies the Gileadites. The Gileadites identified the refugees by making them say the word Shibboleth. Because there is no “Sh” sound in Ephraimitie dialect, they were easily discovered, captured and killed.
I must congratulate the Tate Modern for making modern art so approachable and enjoyable. Usually, I’m not a modern art kinda girl. Usually, I like to look at a picture and understand what I’m looking at. But, the Tate Modern have a record of picking pieces that are a little bit fun. Last year it was the slides. This year it’s a big crack in the floor.
It was lots of fun watching the kids interact with Shibboleth. The kids were excited. They wanted to know where the crack started and finished. They jumped from one side of the crack to the other. They climbed into the crack to see how deep it was. Onya Tate Modern for raising a generation with an appreciation for modern art.
