Call For Fearless Athletes
For the last 5 years, Jeff Sheng has been photographing athletes on high school, college and university varsity sports teams who also openly identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans for a project called Fearless.
Thanks to a grant by the St. Paul's Hospital Foundation in Vancouver and efforts by the GayWhistler's PRIDE House in partnership with Qmunity in Vancouver, Fearless is coming to Canada. Jeff Sheng will be in Vancouver and Whistler photographing for the project November 19 to 22. They are currently looking for volunteers to participate in the project, specifically out LGBT athletes who play sports on high school, college or university varsity teams, or who are training full-time as high performance athletes.
If you are (or know of) an LGBT athlete who is not out, they are also collecting anonymous stories/testimonials as to why athletes are not able to be out in their sport.
The Canadian version of Fearless will be exhibited at the first ever Pride House during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Whistler and Vancouver.
For more information on the project and how you get involved please contact Ken Coolen at 778-834-3536.
