Sidelined

senior capstone project bfa

“Sidelined” is a multimedia installation project focusing on female athletics, showcasing their stories and experiences. These stories demonstrate both the positive and the toxic environments that female athletes flourish in and, unfortunately, endure. The inspiration for the project is a result of my journey as a female athlete, and it focuses mainly on the many equity gaps between male and female athletics. Through research, interviews, and surveys, I have compiled all of the content. I reached out to college and high school teams, coaches, and athletes. Showcased in “Sidelined” are three posters illustrating three athletes and their stories. Accompanying the posters, a book presents all of the stories I complied through my design process. I dedicate my project to all athletes who lost their seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic. #wewillplayagain
