Board Culture brings together Tim Gregory’s vibrant collection of skate decks and Lanna Apisukh’s dynamic photography to explore the rich history and raw energy of skateboarding. From the evolution of board design to the rebellious spirit captured in the streets, this exhibition celebrates skateboarding as both a cultural movement and an expressive art form. Board Culture invites viewers to explore skateboarding not just as a sport, but as a dynamic cultural force—shaped by courage, innovation, resistance, and relentless creativity.
