- 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: .'Uovo s'ode' is made of the inside shell of a Kinder egg (the plastic one containing the surprise) filled with corn seeds in order for it to make noise when shaken. The shell bears the name of a woman victim of femicide in Italy during 2016 and the date of her death.. .'Uovo s'ode' is the name of an ingenious campaign promoted by a Roman social centre in occasion of the 'Non una di meno' rally to protest against male perpetrated violence on women held in Rome on November 26th, 2016. The campaign exploits the word play created by the similar sound of 'uovo s'ode' [an egg you can hear] and 'uova sode' [boiled eggs]. The object (the innder shell of a kinder egg filled with corn seeds) was used to make noise and accompany chants at the 'Non una di meno' rally in Rome on November 26th.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: .Alice is a 23-year-old young performer from Manchester, UK. The researcher met her at a poetry slam event at 3MT on Oldham Street. She stepped confidently on the stage and asked the public: 'Do you think we have equality? I tell you: we're not even close!'. Her poetry challenges society's ideals of beauty and she thinks people are scared of what's different and feel uncomfortable when others stray away from the 'norm'. She encourages young black women to embrace the desire of being different from what the patriarchal society expects them to be.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: .Five men, known as 'The Wolf Pack' were accused of raping an 18-girl in Pamplona's San Fermín bull-running festival in 2016. The case became viral after the .Whatsapp messages of the group were shared on social media platforms and the judge of the case deciced to accept as evidence a report from a private detective in .which the girl's social media posts where shared. The posts were intended to show how she was on holidays having fun as evidence of her 'not being traumatized', .while the Whatsapp conversations of the rapists, in which they discussed the details of the the rape, were considered 'irrelevant' for the case. Feminists groups all .over Spain started the campaign 'Sister, I believe you' to support the victim and critisize the judge's handling of the case, which is just a reflection of how other gender .violence and sexual harasssment victims are being treated by the system and the media.. .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/

The siege has been causing severe malnutrition of the city inhabitants and is considered a war crime. Al-Saadi - who recently obtained a refugee status and currently resides in Brussels - has been using his art to convey different moments of Syrians struggle for life and freedom.

- 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 provided by the artist: .The short video ‘103 shots’ by artist Heather Cassils is a project that responds to the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. It was filmed at the San Fransisco Pride, and features couples and friends hugging and embracing as a balloon between their bodies pops. The eerie sound of popping balloons allude to the shots fired in the Pulse nightclub. 103: for every life lost and person wounded.. .In their self-created safe space, queer people - mostly people of colour - were brutally attacked. The presumption of their safe space made many people are the party mistake the sounds of the gunshots for the beat of the music. The video and the accompanying description highlight the importance of bars and nightlife to queer culture. To me, the embrace around the popping balloon is a sharp image of how facility and intimacy are always wound up with each other, particularly for queer people. Cassils’ video simultaneously commemorates loss and celebrates queer existence, and it carries on a rich aesthetic and political tradition in queer activism.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by artist: .Before we started our interview, I asked my informant if I can get something for them to drink. I ordered an Americano, so did they. As we were going through my questions and their answers and my occasional interruptions, I notice them breaking the coffee-stirrers in pieces and putting them together in different compositions, their eyes also focused on this. We both were not comfortable, I knew that I was touching upon issues that have caused them great discomfort, and I didn't know if I was equipped enough to be talking about these things with someone that I just met. Also, their stories felt increasingly familiar After a while, I found myself breaking the coffee-stirrers as well, and we joked that we are repurposing an object to get over our discomfort. It felt like I unconsciously adopted a contextual coping mechanism by sharing a moment of discomfort while I was present with the story of another, a story that was too familiar.. .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/
