In ‘Playoff X,’ Forrester explores race, basketball, and objectification

“Playoff X: Recent Works by Marlon Forrester” at the Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists spotlights the work of a young artist who grew up in Dorchester, recently received his master of fine arts from Yale University, and now teaches elementary-level art in the Boston Public Schools. In his work, Forrester deconstructs basketball and its impact on African-American men.
