Systemarosa Celebrates Women, Fashion and Football in New Paris Exhibition
Bringing together “daughters” of the women’s football cultural revolution.
Systemarosa, a platform bridging fashion, football and art, just opened a pop-up exhibition in Paris celebrating women’s football and the new, female creatives working in that space. Over the last few years, women’s football has slowly been shifting the culture.
From sold-out stadiums to grassroots communities built just for the women’s game, it’s hard to believe that arguably the most popular women’s sport in the world right now was banned in nearly every country just a few decades ago. “DAUGHTERS” features the work of seven artists from across Europe as they explore their role in this cultural revolution.
Systemarosa’s Paris cohort is known for their work in football, bringing different cultural backgrounds and experiences in the sport to the French capital for a limited run. Alina Akbar, Alessandra Francesca Coppola, Clara Borde De Castro, Emmely Elgersma, Emily Bisgaard, Nicole Chui, and Ruth Emma Davis put their artwork on display, spanning multimedia presentations, paintings, reworked jerseys and scarves and film.
The exhibition is curated by systemarosa founders Naomi Accardi and Sam Herzog, who said in a press release, “DAUGHTERS is the exhibition we always knew we wanted to make. It is personal, emotional, and rooted in lived experience. We grew up as daughters of the game and yet rarely saw ourselves mirrored in its narratives. Football gave us language, belonging, and direction, but it took years to realise that those experiences were worthy of being represented, archived, and celebrated.”
“DAUGHTERS” will be on view in Paris at 43 Rue des Tournelles from December 3 to 7.
