An interactive, multimedia photography exhibition depicting the lives of professional female football players in Brazil who wear the uniform of one of the greatest male futebol clubs of all time - Santos FC.
Guerreiras encourages viewers to think critically about women’s futebol in Brazil in terms of gender norms and possibilities for empowerment. It highlights the ways in which the women’s game is beginning to move from the margins towards the mainstream of Brazilian culture and draws attention to some of the tensions that accompany these shifts. Viewers are challenged to think about the implications of these shifts in terms of gender equality, athletic femininities, the regulation of bodies, and sites for resistance.
