Lubaina Himid 1954, a British contemporary artist and curator. Her art focuses on themes of cultural history and reclaiming identities.
She was one of the first artists involved in the UK’s Black Art movement in the 1980s and creates activist art.

She was appointed MBE in June 2010 for “services to black women’s art” and won the Turner Prize in 2017.
Her pieces are banners that look like washing hanging on a washing line with a pully system attached to the wall.
Each banner which is made in the traditional east african kanga style. A garment worn by woman that also can communicate a message. The patterns consists of a painted border and an image of a human body part – heart, lungs, a cross section of some hair follicles. Under each image runs an inscription, a line of poetry from James Baldwin and Audrey Lorde,
and various activists from black and gay rights.
She relates theses sayings to organs in her body that ate in the banners.
This is an exercise where she is trying to figure out how she feels.
A curator from the Baltic gallery said that she will paint or listen to using to see how she feels using it as a gauge.
That she finds it hard to feel. That she is normally so efficient like machine and here she explores inner self, her feelings.
It was inspiring to see her art work as I am planning to create personal works in the third year of my degree.
The considerations of feeling, words one admires or feel inspired by. Including the audience in the exhibition. Thinking about clothing styles and alternative firms of communication.
