Rollin’ in Rhythm

Skate Downtown Cincy presents Rollin’ in Rhythm, a group exhibition of street photography, portraiture, and sport videography. Intertwined with the birth of funk music in southwestern Ohio, Cincinnati is home to a vibrant, underground roller skating culture that thrives in two of Cincinnati’s iconic, downtown skating rinks. In these rinks, the act of roller skating, a timeless source of joy and personal freedom, transcends leisure to become a canvas for new art and activism. Through photography and film, eight local artists explore themes surrounding personal expression, resilience, athleticism, and the power of public spaces.
