Exhibited for the first time in North America, this free outdoor photography installation features portraits of the fierce and feisty young girls who are participants of Skateistan — an award-winning, non-profit organization empowering youth and children through skateboarding and education in Afghanistan, Cambodia, and South Africa.

The photographs are by London, U.K.-based photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson, who will lead an artist’s talk on September 5 at the Ismaili Centre, Toronto. There will also be a pop-up Skate Park in the Aga Khan Park on September 16 with free skateboarding lessons led by the Chill Foundation. All are welcome and equipment will be provided.
