DO THEY FIT US?

The biggest show for the 2017 Turner Prize-winner.

As you meander through the rooms you will find different mediums of art with a generous influencer from her theatre design days. The colourful works pop and catch your eye throughout the exhibition and the emotion in her work really speaks to you as you enter the final room, highly likely to be moved by her narration.

A powerful exhibition at times, full of vibrant colours, dreams, memories, beauty and sadness.

Words Via Tate

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 centre-stage and backstage.

Initially trained in theatre design, 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 Black experience and women’s creativity. Over the last decade, she has earned international recognition for her figurative paintings, which explore overlooked and invisible aspects of history and of 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.
