PRESS KIT 2017
Our common belief in the culture of skateboarding Beneath the growing industry of skateboarding will always remain the stronghold of culture. The people dedicated to moving skateboarding forward. The style, the art, the music, the little wooden toy that started it all. At Skateism we support that culture. Creating content dedicated to exhibiting the skateboarding as a form of artistic expression, Skateism produces high quality imagery, copy and multimedia which shows the raw, unregulated aesthetics of true skateboarding scenes on the streets. Without the culture, we would have nothing.

A - Z Magazine A-Z is Skateism s first hard copy publication. Oriented towards local scene promotion, this series of magazines will pair two international skate cultures in each issue, starting with the same letter. A simple concept, but one which will compare and contrast how skateboarders live what they love around the globe. We can all learn a thing or two from each other. The first issue of A-Z, entitled A-A: Athens to Amsterdam will be launched in time for Bright European Tradeshow 2017 in the Spring/Summer season. It will be distributed free across both featured cities, and sold online per unit via the Skateism E-shop.
KEEP PUSHING: DOCUMENTARY Despite the crisis in the country, urban sub-cultures are springing up all over Greece, and in nowhere is this ardent cultural undercurrent more evident than in Athens. Skateboarders, artists, musicians, designers, photographers, independent business owners are all emerging over night, and working tirelessly to survive in the unstable times they find themselves in. It is a testament to the strength of the Greeks that in incomparable financial upheaval, so many are staying passionate and motivated. This documentary is not about the money, it is about the people. It is about raising awareness for young creatives in Greece, and about offering hope to other European countries who are watching Greece with bated breath. Due for release in September 2017, production for Keep Pushing is now underway and will feature interviews with key players in the Athenian scenes, plus mini skate parts from some of the country s most talented skaters.
