A conversation between Lubaina Himid and Christine Eyene

Lubaina Himid discusses her exhibition Carte de Visite with Christine Eyene. Featuring new work by Helen Cammock, Claudette Johnson and Ingrid Pollard, this project developed over a year is a meeting point, an exchange of intangible creative moments, a dialogue stretching beyond the notion of exhibition as an end result.
In this conversation Himid and Eyene will consider the themes explored by the artists, their aesthetics and creative process, collaborative practice in the making of new pieces, and the articulation of private narratives in the context of a public display.
