Ramp It Up: Skateboard Culture in Native AmericaRamp it Up celebrates the vibrancy, creativity, and controversy of American Indian skate culture. Skateboarding combines demanding physical exertion with design, graphic art, filmmaking, and music to produce a unique and dynamic culture.

The exhibition features rare and archival photographs and film of Native skaters as well as skatedecks from Native companies and contemporary artists.

Ramp It Up: Skateboard Culture in Native America runs from June 12, 2009 to September 13, 2009 at the National Museum of the American Indian on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
