Exhibition Histories Talks: Lubaina Himid

Afterall, in collaboration with Whitechapel Gallery, announces the eleventh in a series of talks analysing and contextualising exhibitions through curators personal accounts.

On 3 March 2016 artist and curator Lubaina Himid will be in conversation with curator and researcher Paul Goodwin to discuss ‘The Thin Black Line’, which took place at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London in 1985, and some of her related exhibition projects from the same period. ‘The Thin Black Line’ was one of a series of exhibitions curated by Himid during the 1980s that brought a new generation of Black female artists to the fore, and both challenged and transformed then-dominant practices of exhibition-making.
