You’re not just strolling through a gallery; you’re tapping into the underground link between urban architecture and skateboarding. Aalto’s pool design? It’s the OG that inspired Thomas Church to spread round-bottom pools across California. Fast forward to the '70s: a bunch of kids in drought-stricken California, armed with skateboards and no rules, started carving up these empty pools. That’s the spark that ignited a revolution. And don't even get me started on the bending plywood tech—Aalto and Otto Korhonen paved the way for the concave skateboard decks we ride today. Seriously, if you miss this exhibition, you’ll be kicking yourself harder than a failed kickflip.

Then there's the Lizzie Armanto section—two weeks left to get a close-up of her style. It’s not just about tricks; it’s about the whole package: her decks, her outfits, her vibe. Lizzie isn’t just a skater; she’s a force, a trailblazer for women in skateboarding. If you think you know skate culture, this will make you rethink everything.

And finally, feast your eyes on the Arto Saari photo exhibition. This isn’t just some guy with a camera; Arto captures souls, not just faces. About 50 hauntingly beautiful prints on plywood, stripped down to black and white—no distractions, just raw emotion. Each shot is a gut punch, cutting through the fame of his subjects to reveal something raw, something real. Miss this, and you’ll miss a masterclass in capturing the human condition through a skateboarder's lens.
