Skate collective Habibis honour traditions of personal documentation with an unconventional heart
Briefly

Founded in 2017 by Jamal Abdul-Jabbar and artist Camera Lenton, Habibis is an innovative skate collective and creative studio based in Edinburgh. The collective reinvents traditional skate culture videography through a mix of illustration, animation, and video, often inspired by the raw aesthetics of Scottish cities. Their work embodies humor and playfulness, as seen in projects like 'Maghreb Excursion.' Committed to community, Habibis collaborated with Skate Pal in 2025, showcasing cultural heritage and support for Palestinian youth through skateboarding.
"Our inspiration comes from architecture, skate culture, books, websites, and archives. Growing up surrounded by the raw textures of Scottish cities - concrete, grit, and blocks - has influenced how we create"
