LUBAINA HIMID with Magda Stawarska:
Another Chance Encounter

July 12 – Nov 2, 2025

Kettle's Yard, University of Cambridge
Castle Street, Cambridge, CB3 0AQ

A leading figure in contemporary British art and the UK’s next representative to the Venice Biennale, LUBAINA HIMID is best known for her innovative approaches to painting and social engagement, playing a pivotal role in the British Black Arts movement since the 1980s. Over the last decade, she has earned international recognition for her figurative canvases, which explore overlooked or invisible aspects of history and contemporary daily life.

At Kettle’s Yard, her new work will center on what is missing from the telling of life stories: who is left out of narratives, what strategies are used to fill in the gaps, and the objects we choose to leave behind. Another Chance Encounter features a special installation made in collaboration with Magda Stawarska; an exhibition dedicated to Himid and Stawarska’s decade-long artistic dialogue is currently on view at MUDAM, Luxembourg, co-organized with the Sharjah Art Foundation.
