Abstract
A creative non fiction piece that explores gender identity and national identity through the theme of contested spaces in sport, using intertwined research and reflection on family history and the contrasting sporting lives of two siblings in the early part of the 20th century. This creative non fiction work was one of a number of "voices" on contested spaces in sport included within the catalogue for the Contested Spaces exhibition held at the John Curtin Gallery in August 2018. The textual pieces provided artefacts in the form of creative and academic writing to express writers voices and complement the exhibited art works.
