Exhibition & London Event Listing | The Snowboard Asylum Presents Since ‘89 | Copeland Gallery, Peckham

A unique photography exhibition, Since ‘89 delves into the journey of the UK snowboard scene over the past 35 years. Through three and a half decades of photography, we’re taken on a trip down memory lane watching the British scene grow from an underground subculture driven by a small band of misfits, through its acceleration into the mainstream during the ‘90s and ‘00s, to the sport’s most recent explosion in popularity thanks to the success of homegrown athletes on the global stage.

Curated by the editorial team at The Reason Snowboard Magazine, Since ’89’s collection of imagery showcases UK snowboarding in all its guises, from the rough and ready, DIY dryslope sessions of the early days to behind-the-scenes shots of the podium-topping careers of recent generations. The archives have been well and truly exhumed
to serve up nostalgia on a platter and a candid look into the beating heart of British snowboarding over the years.

The show runs from 11 to 13th October at the London’s Copeland Gallery, Peckham SE15 3SN. Entry is free and features work from the most prominent and renowned photographers in the game, including Dan Milner, James North, Nathan Gallagher, James Bryant, Natalie Mayer, Sang Tan, Allan Green, Julian Parkinson, Ed Blomfield, Russell Shea and more

In The Snowboard Asylum’s 35th year, they’ve chosen to partner this event with the suicide prevention and mental health charity CALM. All profits raised from print sales featured in the show will be donated to the organisation.
