This short film documents a football match that took place on Cathkin Park, Glasgow, in June 2021. The match was played between 3 teams: Degrowth, Decolonisation and Climate Action, all aiming to form allegiances rather than beat the other teams. The participatory artwork, devised by artist Ailie Rutherford with activist Sapna Agarwal for Feminist Exchange Network, was a playful way of looking at the intersection of these struggles and how a truly feminist approach to economics can’t function without all of these things being taken into account.
The match was played on a hexagonal pitch (as devised by the original anarchist players of co-operative football in the 1960s) with hexagonal football strips upcycled by artist Mandy Roberts.
