Miami Salutes Its Skateboarding Subculture

Via. Coolhunting:

A ten year retrospective on skateboarding in Miami, "The MIA Program" looks at the city's stirring subculture through the lenses of photographers Ian O'Connor and Frankie Galland, as well as with skate-inspired paintings by artist Taylor Kienholz.

The MIA Program returns for a month-long showcase at local hangout Kill Your Idol after debuting to a packed house in a 24-hour-long exhibition of the same name at the beginning of 2010. The exhibit aptly portrays its host city with images spanning all neighborhoods—from the gutters in seedy Liberty City to half pipes inside the clubs of South Beach, The MIA Program is as much about the culture and backdrop surrounding the Miami skate scene as it is about the medium or the sport itself.
