The Urban Guerilla Projekt - An Explanation

/>“Greetings from Vancouver BC Canada! We(The Urban Guerillas) are a
collaboration of artists and skateboarders working together to counter-act anti-
skateboarding activity (skate spots being shut down, destroyed, or made unusable
by the installation of anti-skate devices) and anti street art activity. For
over a year now, we have been promoting street skating by reclaiming old skate
spots, creating new ones, and using ‘street’ space to express ourselves, and
communicate our purpose and presence… All in the name of keeping skateboarding
in it’s natural environment, The Streets. Through the use of posters, stencils,
stickers and apparel, we aim to rally skateboarders and artists alike to
“Reclaim The Streets!” With countless hundreds of hours ‘expressing’ ourselves
through our chosen medium, and loving it more and more each day, we thought we
might contribute to the great ‘Collective’ of other street artists from around
the globe who have inspired us. Anyways, keep up the awesome effort! We are also
currently working on our website, and we will let you know about it when it is
up. Thanks again and Happy New Year, *The Urban Guerillas* ” Reclaim The
Streets!”
