Creative and rooted in the real-world subculture of women, queer, and nonbinary skateboarders, Lia Manfredi’s Free Skate celebrates the individuals that make up this dynamic community. Manfredi’s engaging portraits, short form video projected onto sculptural installation of a quarter pipe, and takeaway zines make for a comprehensive exploration of an alternative to the male-dominated sport of skateboarding. The work feels genuinely collaborative and attunes viewers to less visible worlds of women, queer, and nonbinary skaters.
