Documented artwork / basketball court artwork
Basketball court at Chickasaw Heritage Park (Project Backboard)
Credit as documented: Nina Chanel Abney with Project Backboard
Nina Chanel Abney and Project Backboard returned to work together on the basketball court at Chickasaw Heritage Park, marking ten years since their first collaboration. The project combined a new artwork with repairs to a community sporting space. Its location on a bluff above the Mississippi River places the court within Memphis's French Fort neighborhood. The artist's account identifies it as the neighborhood's only public basketball court and the second court within Memphis River Parks.
