Skateboarding Summit, or the Reflection on Social Exclusion in the Context of Alternative Culture

Skateboarding Summit was held on 24-25 November 2018 in Łódź.

Skateboarding is a way of reinterpreting urban spaces. It is full of freedom, vitality and unpredictability. Skateboarders are disturbing the social order because they demonstrate, in a very simple way, that the urban space does not belong to everyone. We asked ourselves how exclusion works and who ‘the Other’ is, to conclude that ‘everyone in their uniqueness can become a closer person to me’.
