This is (not) a Football Scarf

As a female growing up between Scotland and Spain, I decided to explore football as a community builder and destroyer. Lad culture, locker room talk, toxic masculinity, elitism, gender inequality, some of the many components of modern day football culture. This project was a way for me to connect to others through football in a new way, using the shirts as the identifying link between relationships and memories formed. This is an ongoing project and I am still accepting donations of football shirts. To donate, please contact me on caitfcallaghan@outlook.com.
