“I was fascinated by the skate community and approached Dylan Winstone because of his excellent ability to capture not only individual but also collective energy. We knew each other through the University of Suffolk first and became friends soon after we met.”
— Patrisiya Banova
“Patrisiya came to me with the idea of a paste up photographic exhibition that celebrates the skateboarding community after spending a few summers around me and my skating crew.”
— Dylan Winstone

7305 exhibition is a positive reflection of youth and skating culture, connecting people and organizations across Ipswich through skating. It provides a glimpse of the skating community through Dylan Winstone's lense to grow awareness amongst a bigger audience of the positive effects of skating. This project was funded by Suffolk County Council’s Covid Continuity Fund for Culture part of Hulla Ballo 22 portraying youth culture positively, artistically, and publicly!

Words from our Editors Michael & Emily

When visiting this outdoor exhibition down at The Waterfront, Ipswich we were immersed with the atmosphere and the culture of the skating community. It was amazing to see how these works brought so many people together from all walks of life. Art should be accessible to everyone and 7305 did exactly that. Massive congratulations to both Dylan and Patrisiya for a very successful exhibition and best of luck with the rest of your University projects. For more hit the links below:
