Snowboarding and the culture surrounding it have been pegged as rebellious and reckless—a negative stigma that continues to follow the sport to this day. However, the sport is still relatively new and constantly evolving. Boarding School targets people who have unfavorable views of snowboarding, and introduces a new perspective. This informational exhibition demystifies the sport and its misconceptions, making it more accessible to potential enthusiasts.
Boarding School offers a zine, a video dictionary of common snowboarding terms, and snowboard graphics designed for the three pronounced subcultures within the community—Competitive Riders, Free Riders, and Hybrid Riders. Boarding School encourages people to have an open mind about snowboarding, and demonstrate that the snowboarding community is open to everyone.
