Skateboard “Mug-shots”

A sports and arts skateboard project based on Urban art forms, with young people. Workshop sessions over a 3 month period offered the young people an opportunity to design their own unique “Mug-shot” (the term for the design on the underside of a skateboard).

When the project was complete the expectation was that the group would go skateboarding, – instead they took the boards home to put on their bedroom walls as a trophy of their achievements!
