LUBAINA HIMID

Jan 18 – Apr 27, 2025

UCCA Center for Contemporary Art
4 Jiuxianqiao Rd, Beijing 100102

Lubaina Himid's first solo exhibition in China—curated by Luan Shixuan—will reflect on the key stages of Himid's artistic career over the past four decades. A selection of significant works from the 1980s to the present, including A Fashionable Marriage, Naming the Money, the "Feast Wagon” and “Plan B” series, will be featured.

"This imaginative painter, a key figure of the British Black Arts Movement of the 1980s, has for decades been creating installations and paintings that envision Black liberation in all its many forms. Having become the first Black woman ever to win the Turner Prize in 2017, she has since collected many accolades, including the Maria Lassnig Prize, which came with this exhibition, a survey of her works across the years. Included will be some of her newer paintings, in which people cloistered in domestic settings plot out how best to solve issues afflicting society, from the aftermath of colonialism to urgent ecological problems."
