On view from 26th to 28th March, 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.

Artists featured in the exhibtion come from various disciplines including graphic novels, animation, digital design, textiles and many more, and include Tony Gammidge, Sabba Khan, Woodrow Phoenix, Sonia Madrigal, Vanessa Marr, Jemma Treweek, Ruchika Vason Singh and several others.

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.

The exhibition takes place from 26-28 March 2025 and the organisers are looking to generate conversations and ideas that will encourage social change.
