FOOTBALL TO THE PEOPLE, FOOTBALL TO WOMEN: PRESENTATION OF FOOTBALL SCARVES AND THE SCREENING OF THE FILM ''OFFSIDE'' BY J. PANAHI
Time: Monday, April 28, at 9 PM
Place: Local committee (MO) S.S.Kranjčević, Kranjčevićeva 4a, Zagreb
The slogan “Football to the people, football to women” has been calling for more equality and sport accessible to all, from the wall of the stadium in Kranjčevićeva Street. In cooperation with illustrator Ena Jurov and journalist Ivana Perić, we intervened on the old mural of the former supporters’ group White Angels by adding women to it – female football players and supporters, domestic and foreign.
And while the stadium is being renovated, in the hope of seeing clear feminist, antifascist, and workers' solidarity messages on its new walls, we have printed the message ''Football to the people, football to women" to football scarves, to send it out even broader and louder. We will present it at the screening of the film "Offside" by the Iranian director Jafar Panahi. You will be able to get a scarf for a donation. The number of scarves is limited! [...]
