Game Face: What does a female athlete look like



This multimedia art project includes a photo book (Random House Trade Paperbacks; newest reprint edition 2003), exhibit (launched in 2002 at the Smithsonian, just left de Saisset Museum, Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California ) and an online segment. Looks cool.

I can't tell from the Web site who's behind this project. There is a feature on the site inviting females to submit their stories for online publication.

From the book marketing copy on the site:

Game Face documents the tremendous impact that sports has on the daily lives of millions of girls and women. On playing fields and street corners, in backyards and gyms, the people in this arresting array of pictures are unselfconsciously exploring the physical and emotional pleasures of competition and play. Each image offers an affirming and satisfying answer to the question at the heart of Game Face: What do girls and women look like, freed from traditional feminine constraints, using their bodies in joyful and empowering ways?
