May 2008 “Art and sport against Homophobia” was an exhibition in conjunction with “GIRLS SCHOOL” a collaborative Exhibition curated by friends and Art trio Alex Dipple and Matt Pagett.
My work was Dealing with the Death of the only ever gay and out footballer Justin Fashanu. He hung himself in 1998 after years of feeling rejected and hounded by the football world. This Exhibitions aim was to raise awareness about his life and the Justin campaign that myself and a few of our players from the BRIGHTON BANDITS Gay football team Launch in the Anniversary of his death.
The Campaign aims are to help the FA and FIFA create an environment were by Gay football players feel able to come out.
