Think Outside the Ring

A Shape Your Life Art Project

Think Outside the Ring is a collection of paintings produced by participants in Shape Your Life (SYL), a free recreational boxing program for female and trans survivors of violence at the Toronto Newsgirls Boxing Gym. These paintings are completed on boxing canvases by SYL boxers as part of their journey to their own healing. The paintings also celebrate making new connections to themselves and others.

Exhibition on view April 1-30, Grapefruit Moon, 968 Bathhurst St, Toronto
