Match Mixer LIVE: France vs Australia ALL AGES (6am kick off)
Event description
FMC’s Match Mixer aims to smash together the most popular game in the world, art, and social justice in order to raise funds for the families of workers who tragically died building the stadiums and infrastructure in Doha, so that Qatar can host world’s most popular event.
The Match Mixer project features live and delayed screenings of world cup matches at FMC’s custom-fitted studio in Fitzroy, Melbourne, while fundraising through sales of merchandise featuring provocative designs from Melbourne artists.
Artwork will be printed onto sustainably produced T-Shirts and are available for purchase in-store and online to local and global audiences.
Proceeds from fundraising activities will be distributed to the families of people who died during the construction of world cup venues in Doha, Qatar, via trusted avenues who have direct links to families.
Former Soccceroo, football pundit, and social justice campaigner, Craig Foster, is supporting the project.
Foster said, “I urge football fans to think about members of our own community around the world whose rights are being abused every day such as migrant workers, women and the Qatari LGBTI community. As global citizens, we can ensure that the World Cup provides visibility for affected groups and as we watch the games, and simultaneously can continue to call on Qatar, and all football-loving countries to treat people according to basic human rights principles.”
