Artist Harry Meadley has been a member of the Leeds skateboarding community for a long time and firmly credits becoming a skateboarder as his route into art college.
For LEEDS 2023, Harry worked with the local skateboarding community to deliver ‘My World My City My Skate Spot’, a project that supports female and non-binary skaters from across the city to empower them to feel safe and seen when street skating.
Here, he writes exclusively for the YEP:
Leeds has a great skateboarding scene; it’s always been a really positive and inclusive community that is also actively creative.
