- 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: .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: .'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: .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/

- 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 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/
