About the Work

The painting's title refers to wrestling, one of the most popular combat sports in Africa and a practice taught at American universities. Through this cultural lens, Alioune Diagne portrays a shared culture, a pan-African identity increasingly asserted in the vibrant protests of Black Lives Matter.
