Passing Gloves

In 2022, Orion Isaacs curated ‘Passing Gloves’: an immersive exhibition at Rich Mix, funded by Arts Council England, looking at the lost & forgotten histories of Jewish boxers in the UK. The show featured new photographic and moving image works, starring and directed by Isaacs, and filmed by Sweatmother. These were presented alongside a specially-commissioned soundscape by Giora Polushko and interviews with a number of UK-based Jewish figures who have a relationship to the world of boxing.
