“Skatepark Baltimore” is a collaborative photo project about a self-created youth community that grew to make a Baltimore skateboard park a more inclusive space. Skaters who felt uncomfortable using the park alone realized the need to work cooperatively in order to claim this space as safe—particularly those who identified as transgender, gender-nonconforming, Black-femme, women, and/or queer. 

The portraits in “Skatepark Baltimore” celebrate the young people who fight for their access to joy. This art project also uses the social-work methodology of Photovoice, which uses photography to spark conversation around social issues.
