Working under the pseudonym ‘Juan James’, Chilean-born New York-based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz has collaborated with NYC artist and musician J. Carlton Dewoody to create two limited edition skateboards – ‘Burka board’ and ‘Prayer board’ – to be exhibited and auctioned for Skateistan.

Skateistan is Afghanistan’s first skateboarding school, which engages growing numbers of urban and internally-displaced youth in Afghanistan through skateboarding.  It is the only organization which provides girls in Afghanistan with the opportunity to play sports.

The exhibition and fundraising event includes more than 50 different customized boards created by a series of artists designers and skateboarders and is held at the Red Bull Space in Soho NY.
