An exhibition to celebrate one of sport’s greatest ever champions, Muhammad Ali. As the great man marks his 70th birthday in this Olympic year, the show brings together contributions from some of his leading photographers; including Christina Jansen, Terry O’Neill and Roberto Robanne. The wide array of different photography and art-works on show from throughout Ali’s life are accompanied by audio and video installations as well as poetry and memorabilia. It celebrates his many famous sporting victories, his vast contributions to humanitarian causes around the world, and the on-going inspiration of his own personal battles and triumphs. Far more than an exhibition of sporting iconography, ‘In the Rings with Ali’ tells a fascinating tale of the human will and spirit. Occupying the gallery space of the Forman’s Smokehouse Fishery, just opposite the Olympic Stadium, the venue offers fine cuisine, drinks and live coverage of the games on large screens. It makes for the ideal Olympic retreat for art, sports and Ali fans alike. The exhibition is also run in aid of ‘The Muhammad Ali Outreach Programme’ for young people in the local community around East London.
