Feminist Tabletop Football is a participatory artwork in the form of a co-operative table-top football game, played on a hexagonal board between three teams. It is based on the popular "Subbuteo" game, inviting players to find common goals across their team, working towards a shared feminist future. 

You are invited to come and see the Easterhouse version – three teams of participants that will share, via the game of tabletop footballe, what the teams have disucussed in relation to the following themes: Health and Wellbeing, Public Transport and Work.

The game offers the possibility to explore a world founded on co-operation, where we find ways to work together, to realise the core principles of feminism: prioritising social justice and collective thinking over competition. A playful and fun way to explore common aims, discuss struggles, as well as the difficulties in realising this alternate reality. 

Feminist Tabletop Football has been created by artist Ailie Rutherford for the Glasgow based Feminist Exchange Network, a women-led* collective. It is a network that uses social and activist arts practices to explore ideas of feminist economics in relation to women’s lived experiences and ways of putting feminist economics into practice at a local level. For this version of the work at Platform, Ailie will be working with Ellie Harrison, Laura Gonzalez and layla-roxanne hill as team coaches.
