Skateprotest 1999

Before we dive into a conversation about skateboarding and the city, we take a look back at the archives. Together, we'll watch remarkable footage from the summer of 1999, when Groningen skaters took action during Noorderzon to demand more space to skate. A fascinating time capsule that shows the question Who does the city belong to? has been with us for decades, even back when Noorderzon was still held only in the southern part of the Noorderplantsoen.
