<p><em>Art Basel’s ‘Meet the artists’ series presents contemporary creatives shaping today’s cultural landscape</em><em><br></em></p>
<p>Artist and curator Lubaina Himid has made an indelible mark on painting with her vibrant reflections on identity, history, and power. For the past four decades, she’s turned her unflinching eye toward the legacy of colonialism, the transatlantic slave trade, and the contemporary Black experience. ‘As an African artist, what's important to me is that there is a community, there is a conversation across our shared experience,’ she says. </p>
<p>In this episode of ‘Meet the artists’, we visit Himid in her seaside studio in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. There, she delves deeper into the media that define her practice and <em>A Fashionable Marriage</em> (1986), one of her most celebrated works – and a highlight of Art Basel’s Unlimited sector at the 2023 Swiss edition.</p>
<p>Lubaina Himid is represented by <a href="https://www.artbasel.com/rooms/detail/47055/Hollybush-Gardens">Hollybush Garden</a> (London). Her exhibition, 'Lost Threads,' opens at <a href="https://www.holburne.org/events/lubaina-himid-lost-threads/">The Holburne Museum</a> in Bath on January 19 and will be on view through April 21, 2024. <br></p>
