"Boxing in Cuba is a visual representation of the resilience of an island embargoed, shut off from the rest of the world, yet still standing."
Photography & Imaging student Alina Patrick spent the first half of this semester studying abroad in Havana, Cuba.
While exploring the city and immersing herself in the local culture, Alina spent time photographing and getting to know members of Havana's boxing community.
She produced a featured photo essay for NYU's student newspaper The Washington Square News sharing her images and experiences.
