“Lubaina Himid: Work From Underneath”

The African diaspora and the legacy of colonialism are the subjects of these dreamlike figurative paintings by Afro-British artist Lubaina Himid, the winner of the 2017 Turner Prize. Born in 1954 in Tanzania, Himid became a leading figure in the British Black Arts Movement of the 1980s and ’90s, a group of artists of color in the U.K who focused their work on race and gender.
