"Dreamer" Jahmal Williams Life in Art and Skateboarding

Posted by HOPPS Admin.

Converse presents, "Dreamer," a short film documenting a life in art and skateboarding of the influential Jahmal Williams. 

"If I could describe the closest parallel to Jahmal's skating, it would be Jazz." So sets the stage for both Jahmal Williams art practice and grace on a skateboard. Through this short documentary directed by Pep Kim, on the occasion of Jahmal's new mural with Converse on the side of Pilgrim Surf Supply in Brooklyn, we get a glimpse at how his art style has informed his skating and how his improvisational mindset has allowed his art to flourish in abstraction.
