Andrew Ramer On The Pink Triangle
from Jewseum Hosted by Jewseum
During San Francisco Pride week, a giant pink triangle is installed on Twin Peaks. In the gallery chat "Andrew Ramer on Pride Week’s Pink Triangle in Conjunction with Yom HaShoah," Andrew Ramer talks about how the pink triangle went from being a symbol of persecution to a symbol of gay pride. Presented in partnership with Congregation Sha’ar Zahav, and in conjunction with Cary Leibowitz: Museum Show and the commemoration of Yom HaShoah. Recorded on April 21, 2017. Andrew Ramer is a writer whose work is grounded in narratives from parallel realities. He’s the author of Torah Told Different: Stories for a Pan/Poly/Post-Denominational Era, Queering the Text: Biblical, Medieval, and Modern Jewish Stories, and Two Flutes Playing, which has been called a gay underground classic. The world’s first ordained interfaith maggid (sacred storyteller), he is a longtime member of Congregation Sha’ar Zahav in San Francisco, in whose marvelously innovative siddur many of his prayers and blessings appear.
