Conversations | Premiere Artist Talk: Lubaina Himid
Lubaina Himid revisits her influential career as an artist, curator, and teacher with Art Basel’s Executive Editor Coline Milliard. Anchoring their exchange in Himid’s seminal 1986 installation A Fashionable Marriage – a Hogarth-inspired satire of the art world and global politics presented in this year’s Unlimited sector – they chart Himid’s career over the last four decades, from her youth as a key figure in the British Black Arts Movement to her critically acclaimed Tate Modern retrospective.
