    DescriptionAt lunch time on the 16th of October, iRise, hosted Contesting 'Race' and Sport. The event consisted of a tour of the Naughton Gallery’s third annual sports exhibition, As Many Reps as Possible, which showcased some of the most exciting sports-influenced artworks being made today, in addition to highlighting ground-breaking figures in the sporting world including Simone Biles, Colin Kaepernick and Serena Williams.
