Sonic Skateboarding • Short Cuts • BBC Radio 4

2024 | Co-Producer

In the car park of an abandoned pub in South London lays the Grove DIY skatepark. In this piece produced by sound artist Alice Boyd and skate academic Tom Critchley, we are invited into the sonic world of skateboarding and its contentious place within the urban landscape.

Tom takes us on a tour of the skate park and along the way, we hear from Grove skaters Hannah, Zip and Bleu (pronounced ‘Blue’) webbed together through the research and music of PhD candidate and sound artist Ben Dixon.
