About this episode
The episode features an interview with Palestinian-American skateboarder Maen Hammad discussing his experiences and work in Palestine.
Skaters, We'll make this a short intro. We are beyond honored to welcome Palestinian-American skateboarder, writer, photographer and human rights researcher Maen Hammad. We start with a reading from his piece "On skateboarding, solidarity, and Palestine" published by Skate Jawn (https://skatejawn.com/on-skateboarding-solidarity-and-palestine/) Then we talk about his growing up, skating and work in Palestine. Despite some of the sad circumstances we discuss, it really is a good time and Maen's voice and photos in this moment are essential for any skater.
