It’s a theatrical exhibition by the Turner Prize-winning artist and cultural activist. This large-scale exhibition will debut recent work and include selected highlights from Lubaina Himid’s influential career. Taking inspiration from her interest in theatre, the exhibition will unfold in a sequence of scenes designed to place visitors center-stage and backstage. Initially trained in theatre design, Lubaina Himid is known for her innovative approaches to painting and to social engagement. She has been pivotal in the UK since the 1980s for her contributions to the British Black arts movement, making space for the expression and recognition of the Black experience and women’s creativity. Over the last decade, Himid has earned international recognition for her figurative paintings, which explore overlooked and invisible aspects of history and contemporary everyday life. In 2017, she was awarded the Turner Prize and in 2018 she was bestowed with the honorary title of CBE for her contributions to the arts.
