We are curating roller-skate culture through the lens of the black experience, and embracing it as a solution, a potential cure to some of the social ills we see hurting our communities--
It's Social Justice X Roller-Skating. It’s the “Culture as the Cure” and we are combining roller-skating with fashion, music, art & dance to encourage:
-
Anti-Violence + Gun Violence Prevention
-
Creative Expression + Innovation
-
Inclusion + Representation
-
Emotional + Social Wellness
-
Research, Education, Authorship + Documentation (R.E.A.D.)
The African-American Roller-Skate Museum challenges how a museum can serve in 21st century, digitized & automated society--
The AARSM redefines the role of the museum by:
-
Serving The People In The Present
-
Advancing The Culture Into The Future
-
Archiving The Past With Accuracy And Accessibility
