About this artwork

Our identities are complex. They aren’t necessarily defined by one singular feature, culture or heritage. Everything mixes together, often creating interesting juxtapositions which inform our identity. In his series Scots Jews: Identity, Belonging and the Future Judah Passow explores how the Jewish community in Scotland maintains its traditions while embracing Scottish culture. He travelled the length of Scotland from Shetland to the Borders photographing Jewish communities at home, work and family celebrations. Through this geographical spread, from urban to rural, we see the varied ways that cultures fuse together.
