Skate Park 1: Talking Heads.

On our walk through Brussels we came across a small skate park that was being done up. The local kids were having fun and I liked that it wasn't a very competitive place where only the cool kids were allowed to skate.

Actually I don't want to talk about it too much - I just enjoyed being there. It was unpretentious and seemed like a local effort to give young people a place to go. It's functional street art and it's even interactive:





You can give the girls something to talk about:



Or you can transform the girls into something else entirely:

I'd like to see how the heads have been transformed - I guess there will be stupid slogans as well as actually thoughtful conversations.

I love the idea of the 'talking heads' - especially if people can make them more individual! LOL!

They're a good idea, aren't they? On the other hand I'm sure some people will deface them with rude and sexist comments, but then someone else can come along and transform them again.
