Presented with artist Taeyoon Choi

On June 11, we took to skateboards in an exploration of four-wheeled transportation and local architecture along one of Brooklyn’s most iconic thoroughfares. Participants of all ages and skills were invited to join in this tour that aims to disrupt our conceptions of how we pass through a street. Following the tour, we collaborated on a map-making exercise considering how skateboarding can be a vehicle to reimagine the city. The program also featured insight from Damon Rich, designer, artist, urban planner, and co-author alongside Rosten Woo and Meredith TenHoor of Street Value: Shopping, Planning, and Politics at Fulton Mall.

This tour was inspired by the project Slope Intercept by Sara Hendren and supported by Stoked.
