Lecture
ArtSpeaks: Heavyweight / Black Boxers and the Fight for Representation
Drawn from Dr. Jordana Moore Saggese's latest book, Heavyweight: Black Boxers and the Fight for Representation, this lecture examines images of Black heavyweight boxers to map the visual terrain of racist ideology in the United States. Connecting to the themes of the exhibition Strike Fast, Dance Lightly: Artists on Boxing on view at the Norton, she will explore how these unconventional renderings of Jackson’s body set the stage for contemporary discussions about the intersecting discourses of Blackness, masculinity, and sport in the United States.
