- 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: .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 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/

- Description provided by the artist: .This graffiti appeared in Rome, Italy, following the murder of 22yo Sara Di Pietrantonio by her ex-boyfriend on May 29th, 2016. Over the past few years, Italy has consistently witnessed the murder of young women on behalf of former lovers allegedly unable to overcome a breakup. A series of inquiries and growing media attention to the issue lead the Italian parliament to pass in 2013 a law that mandates more severe penalties for those who murder their spouses, cohabiting partners, or otherwise sentimentally engaged partners. Although gender neutral in its wording, the law and the associated crime has entered common language as 'femminicidio', and is defined by the highest authority .on the italian language (Accademia della Crusca) as any form of systemic violence exerted against women in the name of a patriarchal ideological over-structure that aims at perpetuating the subordination of women and the annihilation of their identity through physical or psychological subjugation. The term 'femminicidio' is hard to convey in other languages. It literally means 'the murder of a female', but this translation does not capture the more profound meaning conveyed in the definition. Despite public attention and specific legislation to target 'femminicidio', the murder of women on behalf of former sentimental partners remains a pressing public issue in Italy to this day. The femminicidio of Sara in Rome triggered a major public uproar. A relatively large march was organized in the area surrounding the site of the murder, where the graffiti in object appeared. The protest also migrated to social media, where it eventually consolidated in the hashtag-slogan '#saranonsarà' ('roughly translating into 'what happened to sara won't happen again'). The graffiti spells 'the femminicida [a person who commits femminicidio] is not [mentally] ill: he is a healthy son of patriarchy'. The explicit message in the graffiti aims at challenging those narratives that use mental illness or abnormal sociality to downplay or even justify femminicidio.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by artist: .Women were told to use the needle instead of the pen. The needle was conceived as the symbol of women domestication, of immobility, the “female pen.” This instrument was the antithesis of the phallic pen. Even Mary Wollstonecraft was against women use of the needle. In her text The Vindication of the Rights of Women with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (1792) she wrote: “I have already inveighed against the custom of confining girls to their needle, and shutting them out from all political and civil employments”. Like Wollstonecraft, many women attempt to detached themselves from the image of the “proper” lady with no intellectual capacity to use the pen. But women's literary and feminist activism history complicates, even more, the simple binary of “the pen or needle” or the idea of considering needle incongruent with political and civil matters. While some women rejected the needlework as a confining labor, other, specifically women writers showed the similarities between the needlework and writing, a strategy to exemplify how the art of writing could be part of the “female” domain (Hedges, 1991). This allegory between knitting and writing, the metaphor of textual work as textile work, gave them the perfect excuse to write as they knit.. .Nowadays, an interesting example of the use of knitting for feminist purposes is the Pussy Hat Project. The original idea of the project was to make a visual statement of women’s discomfort during the first day after Trump government's inauguration. Today the use of the pussy hat has become global. The internet is full of images of people wearing the hats in protest and marches all over the world. As Joan Scott (1996) states “Feminist agency is paradoxical in its expression.” What can be considered a confining instrument for women, could easily become the symbol of feminist resistance.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/
