Exhibition Opening: Jamel Robinson’s A Love Worth Fighting For

Jamel Robinson’s “A Love Worth Fighting For” delves into the raw grief carried by Black and other marginalized bodies, merging the struggle for survival with the brutal artistry of boxing. In this exhibition, love is not only an emotional force but a weapon, forged through pain and endurance. Robinson’s works—some created using boxing gloves dipped in paint, others through powerful assemblages—capture both the physicality of the fight and the abstract expression of grief, anger, and resilience. A short film also accompanies the exhibition, offering a behind-the-scenes look at Robinson’s process of punching paintings into existence, set to a score composed and performed by the artist himself.
