The Shape of Play

Do you feel free to play?

Commissioned for Boston by JArts and curated and produced by Now + There, The Shape of Play, was a new public art installation by artist Sari Carel, that invited us to reflect on the connections between play and the universal search for freedom. The Shape of Play invited people from across Boston to come, play, question, and explore what freedom means now and what it may look like in the future. The piece was on view through October 31 of 2020.
