Beauty and the Bestial: Exhibition confronts the ugly truths of Fire Island’s past and present

By Nicholas Boston
The culminating piece of the exhibit is a 14th century German statue borrowed from the Cleveland Museum of Art, depicting Jesus and John the Baptist in the style of a married couple. The plaque describes how medieval viewers would have seen their relationship as a form of marriage “with Jesus in the role of the groom” and one that “stretched gender roles and sexual identities.”
