URBAN
CENTER 
DRUZHBA
The project began in Lysychansk after meeting local BMX riders who inspired us with their openness and connection to non-official culture. When we saw the unfinished hall of the Druzhba cinema, the idea emerged: transform it into an indoor skatepark. This unconventional concept resonated with everyone involved, leading to the realization of a project we named Druzhba Urban Center.

The work was hands-on, with design and construction happening on-site through collaboration with volunteers and engaged locals who care deeply about their community. This project wasn’t just about the skatepark—it sparked broader processes in the city, encouraging dialogue about opportunities, resources, and the future. Together with: Garage Gang, Kod Mista, Street Culture
