GABRIEL FONTANA

Gabriel Fontana uses sport as a metaphor for society in his work: what rules have we agreed upon in the past,
and do they now work for us or against us? He researches how our bodies propagate, internalise and reproduce
social norms and proposes ways to unlearn this behaviour. As such, he designs and develops new forms of
pedagogy, activities and games. His work focuses on inclusion and reaches different layers of society through
education, culture and the sports industry. His educational programme Multiform (2019) contributes to inclusive
physical education and Tournament of the Unknown (2022) is a tournament series that gives new meaning to our
idea of togetherness.
