Doris Salcedo - Shibboleth
Go and see Shibboleth by Doris Salcedo for free in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern
Share Doris Salcedo's vision that is: Shibboleth, at the Tate Modern.
See Shibboleth, the first work that has actually changed the fabric of the Turbine Hall floor by putting a cracked concrete crevice across it.
Doris Salcedo is interested in racism and colonialism as it exists today. 'The history of racism', Salcedo writes, 'runs parallel to the history of
modernity, and is its untold dark side'.
Shibboleth is used as a custom, term or phrase that determines its own
exclusivity by acting as a test belonging to particular social classes.
Salcedo was born, lives and works in Columbia.
