The Shape of Play was commissioned by JArts, whose mission is to bring people together to explore and celebrate the diverse world of Jewish art, culture, and creative expression, has commissioned this project to engage people from across Boston in an active dialogue about culture, freedom, tradition, and change. Originally planned for a Spring 2020 installation and developed to explore the theme of freedom during the Jewish season of Passover, JArts is especially proud to bring this project to life amidst the extraordinary cultural and social change happening in Boston and across the country.

By inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to experience The Shape of Play, JArts is creating space for participants to explore imaginative possibilities for a future where all people are free. 

Special thanks to the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture, Boston Parks Department, Boston Art Commission, and Friends of Christopher Columbus Park for their support of The Shape of Play and to BRM Production Management for helping bring this project to life!
