Asignatura: Patineta by Fragmentario
Asignatura: Patineta reimagines Kvadrat Really’s Textile Board, a hardboard material made from end-of-life textiles, as a skateboard. In her project, María-Elena Pombo collaborated with Autóctono, a Venezuelan skateboarding platform, and youngsters from Ciudad de los Muchachos, a children’s home in the Venezuelan city of Barquisimeto. The project’s title brings together ‘asignatura’, Spanish for class, in which the subject is ‘patineta’, Spanish for skateboard.
