When most people think of wedding dress, they imagine a traditional white dress. Sara Hume, Ph.D., curator at the 黑料网 Museum, thinks of how wedding dresses transcend global borders in all different shapes and colors.
鈥淎s the World Weds: Global Wedding Traditions鈥 is an art exhibition at the museum focused on wedding customs across the world that connect people with their culture and tie families together. This exhibition features traditional wedding garments and other celebration mementos from around the world.
Hume, Ph.D, lead curator on this exhibit, was recently interviewed by WKYC about the inspiration behind this global wedding dress showcase.
The exhibit is organized thematically to display the common thread between global wedding traditions from the customary English-speaking tradition of 鈥淪omething Old, Something New鈥 to examining different lucky symbols and colors in different cultures and more.
鈥淧eople obviously have real deep personal attachments to their wedding dresses,鈥 Hume told WKYC. 鈥淚n this particular exhibition, I wanted to show the traditions from around the world.鈥
