Gabriel Fontana
social designer
Gabriel Fontana is a social designer. He is the initiator of Multiform, a tool that challenges and examines ideas of identity, community, and inclusion by proposing games for sport classes at schools, generating an openness and empathy that later on filter into wider society.
Drawing on a social design
framework, his work explores how ideologies shape movements and vice versa.
He investigates how our bodies propagate, internalize, and reproduce social
norms, and how these can be unlearned
through activities that deconstruct group
dynamics. In this context, Fontana develops alternative team-sport games that
reinvent sport as a queer pedagogy. With
this method, he developed the projects
Multiform (2019) and Tournament of the
Unknown (2022).
