Heart of The City: An Ode to NYC Basketball⁠
*******Exhibition Opening*******
⁠
Friends, I'm excited to announce the opening of my first NYC solo exhibition on Thursday, June 29, from 6–9 pm at The Arsenal Gallery in Central Park. Curated by nycparks & acommonpractice the show will take you on a visual journey within New York City's outdoor basketball scene through selected photography archives spanning 2004 to 2020. ⁠
⁠
Drawing from my personal relationship with NYC's public parks and projects such as my first book, Blacktop Memento: Fragments of Erosion, and feature documentary Doin' It in the Park: Pick-Up Basketball, NYC, the exhibition unveils the raw beauty that permeates the city's playgrounds. ⁠
⁠
This exhibition was made possible with the generous support of the nbpa, project_backboard, and tremendous producer nxtashia . ⁠
⁠
Join us as we celebrate the boundless energy of pick-up basketball and the undeniable cultural impact of New York City's public parks.⁠
⁠
Our friends from teranga will keep your energy level up with afro-bites & juices.⁠
⁠
Thursday, June 29, 2023, from 6–9 pm⁠
The Arsenal Gallery, Central Park⁠
830 Fifth Ave. at 64th Street, Third Floor⁠
⁠
This art exhibition is FREE and open to the public from June 29 to September 5. ⁠
⁠
In addition, a 10th anniversary screening of doinitinthepark will take place on July 1 at the West 4th St. Basketball courts - more info coming soon. ⁠
