Filming at the Wildparkstadion
Women in football.
Together with German football club Karlsruher SC, I produced two episodes about women in professional football, plus short clips for social media. We filmed on site at the Wildparkstadion, in German and English, with English subtitles for an international audience.
Raised between three continents.
Simone Kehler Funk grew up in Paraguay’s German community – her ancestors emigrated from Canada to Paraguay in 1927. These threefold cultural roots in Germany, Canada and Paraguay shape her work and her perspective to this day.
She spends several months a year in Europe – in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This allows her to connect Latin America with the German-speaking world in a way few others can.
