A much-anticipated introduction to the life and work of Lubaina Himid, whose fresh and theatrical works interrogate hidden and marginalised histories, creating space for the expression of Black experiences and women's creativity, and making her one of the most important contemporary artists at work today.
Lubaina Himid (b.1954) is a renowned storyteller. Her poetic and theatrical works urgently shine a light on marginalised figures and the invisible aspects of history, particularly that of Black experience and women's creativity.
This book is a much-anticipated introduction to the life and work of Himid. It spans over four decades of her career, from her pivotal role in the British Black Arts movement of the 1980s to winning the Turner Prize in 2017 and representing Great Britain in the 61st Venice Biennale in 2026. Drawing together an extraordinary body of work from across painting, textiles, sculpture, sound and installation, this book highlights an artist whose innovative approaches and unfailing social and cultural engagement make her one of the most influential contemporary artists at work today.
