Born in Zanzibar, now based in the UK, Lubaina Himid decades long career has been dedicated to “uncovering marginalised and silenced histories”. This installation, from 2004, took my breath away… and that was even before I read the powerful artist statement that goes along with it:
This was great. Yayoi kusama is being exhibited in my city starting in April (Adelaide , South Australia) and I’m really excited. I would love to see that Himid exhibition, stunning and moving.
Wonderful! All of it!
Love both of these artists, did you hear the Talk Art podcast with Lubaina Himid ?
ooooh, no i didn't!
It’s a good listen
