Ett mail från Mexico

Vi fick ett mail skickat till No Limit-mailen från Paloma som har grundat Chica Rider i Mexico. Hon har gjort ett konstprojekt i San Cosme skatepark i Mexico City som hon vill dela med sig av. Här kan ni läsa det fullständiga mailet, samt se bilder och film. Kanske något att styra upp i en svensk skatepark?

Hi everyone!!

I hope everything is going well.

My name is Paloma Guerrero, founder of Chica Rider, a female project based in Mexico City which most of you know.

For those of you who don't know, I also am brand manager of Converse Skateboarding in Mexico, and now I want to share with you all a nice project I did involving skateboarding and art. I did it with visual artist Anibal Pantoja on a skatepark called San Cosme, located in the middle of Mexico City.

Anibal Pantoja is a mexican visual artist born in 1983. He studied at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas. His job includes ilustration, painting, tattooing and engraving, in which he talks about life, nature, women and existencialism.

San Cosme Skatepark is one of the most visited skateparks in Mexico City, where dozens of riders get together every day. According to government statistics, 5 million people pass along San Cosme Skatepark per day, for it is located on the heart of the city.

Anibal wanted to do a homage to W. C. Escher on this job because he finds a lot of similarity between Escher's work and skateboarding for the principles of Isometry.

I also filmed a video of the progression of the art work (which lasted two weeks), and my friend Vico Ceballos post produced it.

I hope you like this job, and I'd be more than grateful if you find this note worth of posting on your websites!

Best regards,

Paloma
