No comply: Skateboarding’s impact on the UK over the past 45 years

The debut of urban sports at the Tokyo Olympics breathed new life into the Games this summer, with skateboarding notably popular, after it produced some of the best performances from the youngest athletes in Japan.

Team GB’s Sky Brown, at the age of just 13, won a bronze medal and became the youngest British summer Olympian ever.

With that success in mind, Somerset House, is presenting a new exhibition called ‘No Comply: Skate Culture and Community’, which explores the phenomena of skateboarding, and the impact its culture has had on communities in the UK over the past 45 years.
