All Ball is an ongoing meditation on the physical, psychological and communal benefits of basketball in London. From Turnpike Lane鈥檚 concrete courts to Brixton鈥檚 iconic Ruffhouse, basketball provides a stage for people from diverse backgrounds to commune, carve out and take up space in the capital. Initiated by artist and coach Joseph Bond, All Ball identifies basketball as a conduit through which discussions around mental health, sexuality and public space can thrive.

In this 鈥渁ural exercise鈥�, London鈥檚 players, coaches, community workers and artists discuss the sport鈥檚 core value of collaboration, both on and off the court. From a footing drenched with the ball鈥檚 booming thud and staccato squeaks of sneakers on the court, All Ball amplifies the physicality, vernacular and movement-lead language of this forceful, urgent scene.
