CVAN West Midlands & DASH Present: Obsession, Football & Fandom

Part of the Coventry Biennial programme.

Booking Available From September

This discussion brings together Helsinki-based artist Sophia Ehrnrooth with DASH team members Peter Bonnell and Esther Cartwright, [1] and will be chaired by Heather Peak.

The conversation will delve into our cultural obsession with football, its power, passion, and pitfalls. Drawing from Sophia’s CB25 exhibition, 879 Heroes by Heart, the discussion will explore the intensity of fandom among young people, the impact of celebrity worship, and the fine line between play and fixation.

This event is hybrid, join us online or in person. AI captioning will be available.
