Curator’s clip description
Vinnie (Kelton Pell) is sitting beneath a tree in the park, sketching from an old photograph. Franky (Bruce Hutchinson) approaches him with a photo of his own. In the photograph are both their mothers, who it turns out, are sisters, and the two men cousins.
Curator’s notes
All of the elements of the eventual disclosure of Franky and Vinnie being cousins are present; the elder who knew both the parents and the grandparents (oral tradition), and the photograph that is evidence that the two men are related (textual tradition).
Romaine Moreton, curator
