Sport Is For Everyone is a transdisciplinary platform exploring the cultural, social and structural conditions that shape who sport is truly for.
A curatorial project and global cultural platform exploring sport as a social, cultural, and political space. Through interviews, artistic research, and collaborative initiatives, the platform documents how movement, bodies, and collective practices reveal broader social dynamics.
Gründerin
Oumou Aidara
Senegalese artist, writer, and triathlete based between Berlin and Dakar. As a Black athlete navigating multiple identities across continents, Oumou experienced firsthand the barriers and exclusions that shape many sporting spaces. What began as a personal response evolved into a collective vision: transforming frustration into action.
From local run crews in Nairobi to cycling collectives in Berlin, grassroots initiatives are building alternative sporting cultures grounded in solidarity, accessibility, and collective care. Sport Is For Everyone exists to connect, support, and amplify these efforts.

Our framework
Three interconnected dimensions
01
Embodiment
Sport as practice, discipline, endurance and collective experience.
02
Inclusion
Who gets to move, participate and be visible and under what conditions.
03
Relationality
How sport creates connections, communities and shared ways of being.
