- 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: .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: .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. The image I have chosen to submit depicts one of the recurrent themes of his work - a critique to .the discourse of equality and human rights as it is deployed by the international ommunity. compliance.

- Description provided by the artist: .The object is a YouTube video titled 'In My Language'. The video consists of two parts. In the first part, Baggs communicates in their, what they call, 'native language', and in the second part, a computerized text-to-speech voice shares a statement on oppression and how language and communication figure in exclusionary practices. The video is often written about in online activist communities as well as scholarship on disability.. . .I think Baggs articulates a really powerful critique to normative models of the 'human' that fail to see them as a person. The video offers an insight into their world .while simultaneously challenges the (presumed neurotypical) viewer's capacity to become attuned to their world. The video is not just a statement, it's also a work of .art in its own right and beautiful to watch. It fits with the concept of Equality Otherwise because it addresses what kind of vocabulary we use to address injustice, as .well as the care we take in our capacity to attend to injustices.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/
