At the US-Mexico border, in Tecate, French artist JR invited local residents for a “giant picnic” across the wall in a project that offered a sense of community in a heavily politicized context. A huge photograph of the eyes of Mayra, a “Dreamer” — or a young undocumented immigrant falling under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — laid atop the installation. With this responsibly-made deck, The Skateroom creates a highly impactful wall display, with the option to take it out for a ride.

Goodee Presents
The Skateroom merges impactful artists, museums, buyers and non-profits with skate culture to create social change. Printing iconic works of art on responsibly-made skateboards, the project creates unique pieces that foster important conversations while donating to non-profits dedicated to improving humanity through a '5:25' business model: 5% of the turnover or 25% of the profit from every sale - whichever amount is greater. Rooted in the belief that skateboarding and education should coexist, the Skateroom builds and supports skate schools in developing countries around the world to empower underprivileged and at-risk children.
