An unusual exhibition in La Laguna is paying homage to the historical evolution of women’s basketball from its origins to our times. “La Casa de Los Capitanes” is hosting “1893 – From Northampton to Tenerife” until September 29th to coincide with the last days of competition of the 2018 Women’s Basketball World Cup. The president of the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB), Jorge Garbajosa, and the Mayor of La Laguna, José Alberto Díaz, starred in the opening ceremony of the exhibition. It is one of more than 50 complementary activities that the FEB together with the collaborating institutions has organised on the occasion of the World Cup in Tenerife from September 22nd to 30th. The exhibition narrates the struggle of women from different countries and back-grounds to put basketball on the world map. “This show is important for us because we understand basketball not only as a sport but as something educational, playful and familiar and this exhibition is a compendium of the three things,” said Sr. Garbajosa. The exhibition is composed of different information panels, as well as a dozen thematic stations, where visitors can see objects related to the history of both women’s basketball and the evolution of the Spanish women’s team. Also, different videos with interviews and reports with protagonists of this evolution will be screened. Opening hours are from Monday to Friday, from 10am to noon and from 5pm to 7pm; and on Saturdays, from 10am to 2pm. On March 22, 1893 at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, the first women’s basketball game in history was played, a story that continues to this day.
