Private Viewing - I feel therefore I resist: Stories for social change around gender-based violence

Lewes FC and the University of Brighton are collaborating on a funded research project that seeks to raise awareness around gender-based violence (GBV) by hosting an exhibition and series of events at Lewes FC that engage members of the public with this important work. The exhibition was part of an earlier research project between the University of Brighton and colleagues in Mexico City, with artists from both countries responding to data and stories from women who experienced violence, written during the Covid 19 pandemic. The exhibition was hosted in Brighton and Mexico City in 2022/23 (to find out more, please visit Moving GBV Stories – The immobilities of GBV). This new project wants to extend the conversations that the work inspired, hoping to bring this seemingly private issue into the public domain and talk about the links between GBV and football.

Lewes FC have always been advocates for women’s rights. We were the first football club in the world to champion equal pay and work closely with local and national organisations to promote equality and challenge domestic abuse.
We can’t wait to welcome the University of Brighton to the Dripping Pan. The exhibition takes place from 26-28 March 2025 and we’re looking to generate conversations and ideas that will encourage social change.
