Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>At just 26, Rwandan born UK-based choreographer Sherrie Silver has achieved yet another huge milestone as she now has a statue built for her in London, United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The statue is part of a series of eight 3D printed statues unveiled by Adidas London February 17, to support gender equity in sport.<\/p>\n

The launch follows research which found that London has more statues of men (21%) and animals (8%) than it does of women (4%), as claimed by the sportswear brand.<\/p>\n

To increase representation of women in London and inspire the next generation of change makers, Adidas has created eight statues celebrating women who are helping to create a better, more equal future for women and girls in sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are more statues of animals and men in London than of women. That\u2019s not the support women deserve in 2022. We\u2019ve immortalized eight incredible women who inspire the next generation,\u201d explained Adidas on its social media platforms.<\/p>\n

A dancer, choreographer and U.N. Advocate, Sherrie Silver is one of eight women immortalized by Adidas as part of the brand\u2019s move to celebrate some of the UK\u2019s most influential, inspiring, and iconic talent in the world of sport, fashion and culture.<\/p>\n

Others include Arsenal female footballer Vivianne Miedema, footballer and commentator Eniola Aluko, Francesca Brown, also a footballer and CEO of Goals4Girls, dancer and model Ellie Goldstein, Rugby player Emily Scarratt, Youth worker and activist Tanya Compas and Basketballer, poet, and activist Asma Elbadawi.<\/p>\n

Via her social media, the \u201cDance and Cook\u201d star, who is also an MTV Video Music Award winner for choreographing Childish Gambino\u2019s \u201cThis is America\u201d, expressed her excitement to feature among Adidas\u2019 series of 3D printed statues, saying, \u201cLondon has more statues of animals than women, and now I have my own statue in London\u201d<\/p>\n

The dancer\u2019s pose, in the statue, is a traditional dance stance because, she explains, \u2018I am proud to be African and want to represent whenever I can\u2019<\/p>\n

The statues will stand at South Bank, under Tower Bridge for two weeks before being moved to long-term placements and have been 3D printed using a specifically manufactured 3D printing product made entirely from sustainably recycled marine farmed waste plastics.<\/p>\n
