HISTORY

History & Background

Hello, I'm Isaac Huston, a dedicated skateboarder and proud member of the Gnars community. Together with my friend Ephraim, We had the unique opportunity to journey with the Agents from Brazil during the entire production of Uganda Connection. From day one until the final moments, our mission was not only to deliver essential donations to five different skate organizations in Uganda but also to immerse ourselves in the local culture and build meaningful relationships.

Working closely with the local teams, we helped foster movements that went beyond skateboarding. This experience was incredibly enriching—we learned a great deal about the community, overcame challenges on ground together, and celebrated the unifying power of skateboarding. Our role in this mission was both inspiring and educational, reaffirming our commitment to support and elevate the skate scene, not just in Uganda but across borders.

GOALS

• Cultural Connection: Bridge the gap between Brazil and Uganda by showcasing the transformative power of skateboarding through the Uganda Connection documentary.With this we are able to screen more Introduction videos about GNARS DAO and NOUNS to the skate scenes here giving more meaning to local shredders about web3.0 world.
• Community Empowerment: Support and strengthen local skate groups and youths at hand by giving them tools and space for creative expression and cultural exchange.
• Enhanced Engagement: Create immersive and memorable screening experiences with high-quality projection equipment, ensuring every event is impactful.Since some organisations have no access to screening we aim to reach on all skate scenes grounds and screen the UGANDA CONNECTION DOC . Sitting with different skate scenes in Uganda on a screen sharing with them the Gnars DAO community and the Journey of the Gnars Agents from Brazil to Uganda.
• Amplify Gnars' Ideology: Leverage this mission to amplify Gnars' core values and foster an impactful connection between the vibrant identities of both Gnars and Nouns. This initiative not only elevates the local skate culture but also reinforces Gnars’ commitment to global community building and cultural exchange.
