- 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/

- Collage from newspaper cuttings from 2017 and 2018 about women in sport.. .Description provided by the artist: 'Women are participating in sport. This is a historical conquest as women have not been always allowed to participate in sport. Nevertheless, the increasingly current participation of women has not implied the transformation of sport as a male dominated sphere. Moreover, as a mean to ensure the dominion of men and patriarchal structures in sport, the presence of women, despite the lower in comparison to men - especially at the competitive level-, has been used to proclaim, that equality has already been achieved: in this way, any transformation seems to be needed. In this context, it is important to say not only that sport remains as a male sphere, but also that the presence of women remains precarious and that equality has not been achieved.'. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- The collage contains images of women in sport gathered in English newspapers during the last months of 2017 and the first months of 2018. These images are 'framed' by headlines that make reference to sexual violence against women in the sport context and beyond. At the centre of the collage, there is a headline that says, 'United in a plea for equality and freedom from violence', as a way to depict the demands for equality made by women in sport and which have been taken place in a context of violence.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: 'The pH Gender Scale measures how gendered a social structure or a cultural production is. The more it tends to the acid, the more gendered the sample is. Taking as sample the Ideological State Apparatuses and the Repressive State Apparatus suggested by Althusser, the French Marxist philosopher, as well as his .essay 'Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses (Notes towards an Investigation)', .(1970), the pH Gender Scale depicts how highly gendered they are. Through this illustration, it is communicated the fallacy of the gender neutrality of the .social reality.'. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by artist: .Do objects are gendered? They are. .Handguards are compulsory for female amateur boxers in competitions. On the other hand, in 2013, its use by male boxers was repealed of mandatory by the .amateur’s boxing international governing body, AIBA. .Head injuries are more likely wearing a head guard as they whip boxer’s head around, according to an AIBA’s study. However, arguing lack of “scientific” data for the .case of women, they should still wear it. Are women’s and men’s so different that the evidence is not enough to exclude women as well from using these items, or .using a feminist perspective: is that an international body, through a policy, is communicating that women we are a specie different than men? Or is it preventing to .exposure the fact that woman fight and bleed as male [boxers] do? Or is it reaffirming the discourse that a women should be pretty, otherwise it’s better not see her? .Wearing a head guard in a boxing fight is uncomfortable: you cannot see properly and it could move from its place. But what is most uncomfortable is the perverse .und sexist use of objects as well as biased scientific discourses and policies to reaffirm gender essentialist discourses and gender norms which led to inequality.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- The video 'Semenya wins gold in Women's 800m Final' published by the Olympic. Channel in Youtube in August 2016, during the Rio Olympic Games, is played backwards (and speed up) as a metaphor of the discriminatory decisions taken by the International Association of Athletics Federations against the athlete. Also, it depicts how the International Association testosterone-related regulations targeting women represent a historical backlash in what matters to equality.
