Ethopiaskate
Ethopiaskate - a photo exhibition by Daniel Reiter - July 6th - August 31st, 2015
Opening July 6th, 2015 - 6pm - Art Cafe Jadore, Chaussee 56, 10115 Berlin
Last January I flew over to Ethiopia for a documentary. While researching I stumbled upon a young skateboarding community - ethiopiaskate.org who dedicated themselves to teach the kids of Ethiopia how to skate.
Soon I found myself collecting skateboards and streetwear, to bring with me to Addis Abeba where I met with the youngest of this steadily growing community. After only two days of accompanying those kids I quickly reckoned that this would be the start of a long lasting project.
In order to support the project visitors have the opportunity to purchase limited edition fine art prints in different formats. All profits will be made to buy and send gear to my new friends in Ethiopia, to help them expand their scene, and to get as many kids as possible off the streets and on to skateboards.
Bring some hardware to donate! Trucks, wheels and griptape are needed desperately.
