at articule

As part of the exhibition WORLD CUP!, Degane Sougal and Sheena Hoszko will discuss in an interview-style conversation football as it relates to resistance and community building, with a potential splash of art history.

She is a contributing professional at Portes Oranges, an inter-professional clinical that aims to offer sliding scale services. Degane is also an avid football player in Montreal, playing for her club ASUF since 2011.
