Silverlens exhibition explores postcolonial basketball courts through three artists

An exhibition at Silverlens features three artists examining the basketball court as a site of postcolonial inquiry. The show considers how spaces become meaningful places through collective imagination and social practices. Drawing on Benedict Anderson's concept of imagined communities, the presentation explores place-making as an imaginative act. Arjun Appadurai's theories about global flows and 'scapes' inform the artistic investigation. The exhibition questions what transforms empty space into occupied territory and remembered landmarks. It examines how communities gather to create significance in specific locations. The artists deconstruct the basketball court as a cultural and social formation. The show runs at Silverlens gallery, engaging with contemporary spatial politics.
