Shadow Boxer Panel Discussion
Overview
The boxing ring has long been a compelling site for artists, but what is it about the fight that speaks to artists through the ages and why?
Chaired by artist and boxer Abdul Abdullah and featuring artists Karla Dickens, Richard Lewer and boxer Bianca ‘Bam Bam’ Elmir, this panel discussion contemplates the entanglement of boxing and art, and considers how contemporary artists negotiate history, culture, gender, physicality and folklore in their work.
