Built from the worlds of skateboarding, the arts, cultures, and movements, CIRCUS is an extension of the socially conscious work started with Clown Skateboards’ Clown in Action initiative. CIRCUS is a collective – creating, producing, teaching, and supporting. As the CIRCUS slowly comes alive, its goals spread; to be a print house, a producer of boards, a publishing house for books, prints and zines, an organiser of workshops and events. The aim is to be a collective, creating, producing, teaching and supporting. As the UK starts to open, the USA side of Circus has just received the keys to the first official Circus venue in Albany, NY. We caught up with USA ringmaster Bryan to discuss printing and punk, DIY and Daniel Johnston, creativity, social activism and more.
