Skate Girls of Kabul
Our first title for art book publishing house Morland Tate was Skate Girls of Kabul, by award-winning photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson. Skate Girls of Kabul tells the remarkable story of Afghan girls who have taken up skateboarding, thanks to Skateistan, an Afghan charity that provides skate parks as a hook to get children from disadvantaged families back into the educational system. Our award-winning title accompanied an exhibition of Jessica’s beautiful images at the Saatchi Gallery, where we also contributed to the show’s signage and design.
