Exhibition by
The Contemporary Austin

Year
2024

“...Himid has explored and expanded the possibilities of painting and storytelling to depict contemporary everyday life and to fill gaps in art history through the depiction and centering of Black figures and experiences. Self-described as a painter, cultural activist, witness, storyteller, and historian, Himid was an especially influential figure within the British Black arts movement in the 1980s, and has been a champion of women artists in her role as a teacher, curator, critic, and organizer.” —The Contemporary Austin
