The adidas Breaking Barriers Commission

In the run-up to the Women’s World Cup 2019, British Journal of Photography and adidas commissioned one photographer from the 1854 community to shoot a campaign championing girls in sport. Alice Mann spent two weeks documenting sisterhood, encouragement and collaboration amongst four all-female grassroots football teams in London.

An artist talk and exhibition were held at Peckham Springs in the summer of 2019 to celebrate the culminating body of work, sharing powerful personal stories and words of empowerment for future generations.
