- Description provided by the artist: .The image is a poster of Silvia Albert Sopale’s play No Es Pais Para Negras, which was performed in the city of Oviedo last December. The performance was organized by CODOPA, a local NGO.. .'No es país para negras' is Silvia Albert Sopale's first solo performance and probably one of the first plays written and staged by a black woman in Spain. Born in San Sebastián from Nigerian and Ecuatorial Guinean parents, she has participated in other performances such as a version of 'La casa de Bernarda Alba', 'Memories', or 'Pallasas Power', where black female subjectivity has been put at the center. .Determined to open a space for black women artists in Spain and to make female authorship visible, she introduces her play as a 'legacy' and as her way to change the world, to raise awareness and encourage reflection. It is a work that is self-referential while giving voice to African descendants in Spain, a fight against covert racism and paternalistic views on Africa. 'No es país para negras' is, as she states, a play that 'speaks of a place that is inside one's own' as she reveals her personal journey of rejection, acceptance and fight for recognition throughout her performance.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: .This paper ship comes from the interactive theatre performance 'Dreamlands' of Malmö Communityteater ????? ????? ????? that took place in Malmö on 14th of July. Malmö Communityteater ????? ????? ????? is a theatre group made up of people whose identities are made to fall in so-called categories of citizen, refugee, migrant. The ones who took the stage had used their own experiences to come up with a dreamlike script, which invited the voluntary participation of the audience. I was part of the audience. Before the .performance started (now I think about it, maybe the performance had already started with this), the audience was asked to fill out a form about dreams. Dreams we had as children, dreams we realized, dreams that went wrong, right and to other directions. During the performance, the audience was asked to fold this paper in a specific way with clear directions. We all ended up with a paper ship made out of our dreams. Contrary to the popular belief, it seemed, dreams are not left behind when people risk their lives to .save their lives. They are rearranged in the shape of a ship to prolong living, they are the motor of the ship, they are the life vest and they are the driving force of it all. The ones on the stage moved around in white dresses, slowly danced through the scenes, as the audience was given yet another opportunity to process the visual-event of the refugee taking the ship, once again, but with the new suggestion to see the dream that happened before the ship happened.. .Then there was the question and answer session. The atmosphere was heavy with silence. There were some questions eventually, but you know how memories are. Selective. I remember one person within the audience asking: 'what did the white dress that you were wearing mean?'. The ones on the stage responded by saying that it is open to interpretation, and they chose not to give a definitive answer but rather asked her opinion about the meaning of the white dress. She responded by saying that she didn't .know, but some of them looked uncomfortable wearing a dress. Silence. I wondered, and still wonder, what this question means, and what it does. Feeling the need to make a connection between non-Western (assumed) men wearing a white dress and discomfort. I wonder if it was her own frustration to see them wearing a dress, which does not fit into her accumulated knowledge of what non-Western men can do and be. I wonder if it was the discomfort of her own gaze to see non-Western men in dresses. I wonder if she .indeed felt a discomfort, and fished the dress out as the reason. I wonder even if she was sure of a discomfort caused by wearing the dress, what she thought this question would do. These questions about the question are open-ended but, practically, the question ended the show. For me, this little paper ship is a reminder of this instance. The ways in which the questions we ask about gender are shaped by preconceptions, and can easily be comments in disguise with an excess of a question mark instead of opening further opportunities to share. When asked after being offered a piece of someone's dream, they can do more damage than good, to the extent that they end the show.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: .Since my project targets youth and their relationship with street culture through humour and laughter from a gender perspective, this picture mirrors young women's reaction to slam poetry. As one can notice, the number of young women surpasses men's number. In slam poetry the audience is crucial in how the discourse is perceived. From a feminist perspective, these young women use their voice and laughter to react to a certain type of discourse and intervene and have the power to influence the person on stage. At the same time, this picture portays young women in a public space and have their presence felt and their voices heard.. .This picture features a mixed group of young people enjoying a performance act in a public urban space. The presence of young women in a larger number raises the question of who is present at this kind of cultural event. In slam poetry the audience has a special characteristic. Some people in the audience are randomly given the role of judges thus letting the poet know when a poem does/does not connect with them. In this context, laughter is a reaction of acceptance and engagement.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: .The ethnographic context of my research project on sport and gender equality is a boxing academy in a city in Yorkshire, UK. Founded in the 1940s, the place is a nonprofit voluntary amateur boxing club that includes in its activities sex integrated sessions. Furthermore, it has been a platform for women and men at the competitive level. .In order to collect primary data, I have conducted selfimmersion in subcultural setting as a regular participant to the boxing place. By doing this I seek to establish “an experimental and appreciative relationship with the people” about whom I will write about (McCaughey, 1998:279). In accordance to this, Molnar points out that: “For the sake of understanding the field and rich data collection, an ethnographer often has to make some tough, potentially lifealtering choices to be able to carry out participant observation. In doing so, the researcher may have to put his/her body on the line to become an instrument of data collection.” (Molnar, 2015:3). .The objects that I am submitting in this round are contextualized in my first visit to the boxing gym. My intention with them is to represent on one side my embodiment of the field and on the other the existence of gender stereotypes not only in sportive contexts but also in our minds.. .Boxing is an urban phenomenon where violent physical contact is a key element. Historically it has been practiced by men of working classes even though nowadays women are participating in it and gender relations and identities have being challenged. Women, however, are still underrepresented and discriminated whilst men remain as role models and overall sport still produces orthodox masculinities and celebrates sex essentialist discourses. Furthermore, gender stereotypes remain. For these reasons boxing is a great field for analyzing gender in the frame of the research project “Sport as a site for the production of cultures of equality” which is part of the GRACE Work Package “Urban cultures of gender equality”.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: .The object is a photo of a passerby looking at a mural by the artist Belén Deniz in the stairs of Campillín Park in Oviedo, Spain. The mural was part of the “Urban Art Contest: A World on the Move. Women and Refuge” in Oviedo (Spain) and portrays a muslim woman wearing a veil.. .The photo shows a mural that was painted by Belén Deniz in the stairs of Campillín Park in Oviedo (Spain) titled 'Moving without Borders'. The mural was part of the urban art contest 'A World on the Move. Women and Refuge', which sought to visibilize the reality of migrants and refugees in the city, but especially migrant and/or regugee women. .The mural can be considered an appropriation of urban public space by migrant and/or refugee women, but it is particularly significant because it shows an encounter between a passerby, a white woman who was staring at the mural, and the muslim woman from the painting, as if both women were in a conversation with each other. For a moment, they seem to be negotiating or acknowledging a shared space in the city, but at the same time the handrail reminds us of the presence of borders between them.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: .The object is a publicity poster for the Poetry Slam Madrid held on the first Wednesday of the month on Augusto Figueroa Street, 3, Intruso Bar. The poster states the rules of the poetry performance competition: 12 poets on stage, each one has three minutes to perform their original poem, the public decides the winner (5 randomly chosen persons from the audience have the role of judges).. . .This poster generally describes the rules of the competition. Even though the structure is symbolically hegemonic, poetry slam ironically subverts this notion: competition in slams is synonymous with collaboration. Held in an open space designed for leisure, poetry performances embrace the participation of anyone willing to express their thoughts and experiences on stage: it created a new generation of poets .and audience members, particularly among those demographics traditionally underrepresented in poetry: youth, women, queer, ethnically diverse poets. Poetry slams create spaces for all categories of people and it brings poetry back to the people.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by artist: .Poland is currently ruled by a conservative majority who is attempting to implement a set of very restrictive laws regulating the intimate life of citizens. The most (in)famous of these is a legislative proposal to impose an almost complete ban on abortion. Polish women and men have been protesting quite vocally against this piece of legislation throughout the last few months. Despite this, the law was approved by one of the .two chambers of parliament, and has more than a fair chance to make it through the other chamber, too. Polish women are now organizing a nationwide strike on Monday, October 3rd as the most vocal form of protest staged so far.. .For obvious reasons, protests against the abortion ban have spilled over the Polish border, making the news in most other EU countries. Messages of solidarity and marches in support of Polish women have been taking place also abroad. On Wednesday, September 28th, the Group of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament managed to get a discussion of the current issue on the agenda for the next .plenary session.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provide by artist: .The submitted items for the Gender and Cultures of Equality Museum project is a pair of pink boxing gloves. The struggle of women for equality has often been expressed - verbally as well as through metaphors - through notions of battle or fight against patriarchal oppression.. .The right to vote and to participate in public and political life,. .The access to knowledge, education and professional careers,. .The query for decent salaries and women’s economic independence,. .The control over women’s bodies, their physical integrity and legitimacy of pleasures, . .their reproductive and family life decisions,. .The availability of legal protection and medical care,. .- to name only some of the grand narratives of the Women’s Movements during the past century.. .All these movements were lengthy and painful struggles. Many women risked and many women lost their lives for the cause. Each of these milestones on the way to gender equality has its heroines, its championnesses, however the faces of the masses of anonymous women supporting their leaders remain unacknowledged. Most history books do not mention famous women, protagonists of world changing events, let alone their countless sisters.. .Still today, every day, women fight on their collective or individual gender fronts. Yet, equality is far from being achieved. Still today, every day „often nothing tangible remains of a woman’s day” (Virginia Woolf, 1929).. .Every woman has her own battle for gender equality to fight.. .Every little girl should be given a pair of pink boxing gloves.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/
