Such settings include digital and social media, institutional and public spaces.<\/h2>\n<p>Contesting space on the field is an important part of sports such as Australian Rules Football. It is also a significant aspect of everyday life for many women across professional and social spheres. This exhibition uses sport as a lens through which such contestation can be observed to play out in a contemporary Australian context.<\/p>\n<p>In this exhibition visitors are invited into a reflection on the embodied experience of contesting sporting space. Kerreen Ely-Harper\u2019s short film establishes the center for the exhibition. In this work the author Jan Harper explains how for her trail-blazing children\u2019s book \u2018Girls Can Do Anything\u2019 the focus was not the sport in itself, but rather how footy sat as a metaphor for women\u2019s participation in contemporary life. Nearly 30 years on from the publication of Harper\u2019s book, and with the establishment of the AFLW, this exhibition enables visitors to reflect on continuing processes of social change in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibition began as a group of interdisciplinary researchers coming together seeking to frame the context of the new AFLW. The <a href=\"http:\/\/csrr.info\/collection\/framing-the-womens-afl\/\">resultant paper<\/a> explores how women in sport contest and negotiate dominant ideologies through self-representation, spatial justice and narratives of hope and resistance. Extending the conversation established in the original paper, this exhibition seeks to make new connections and provoke new conversations as the basis for future collaborations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff;background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:20px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/classic-10_7.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff;
