Growing up in a sports crazed nation is often a challenge for those of us at odds with athleticism, coordination or even motion. The Winner Takes It All is an interactive art event that allows anyone to be a sporting star, a wild spectator or anything in between. In a country where sport constantly overshadows art, this is a way to put the art into the sport!

With a special focus on the LGBTQIA+ community we invite you to be part of a large scale photographic series exploring the many ways we struggle and succeed to perform ‘sport’. Part performance, part art happening. This will be a unique community engaging event for anyone who loathes or loves the ‘art’ of sport.
