Lubaina Himid is a renowned artist known for her innovative approaches to painting and social engagement. Initially trained in theatre design, she has been a pivotal figure in the UK since the 1980s for her contributions to the British Black arts movement, creating space for the expression and recognition of Black experience and women's creativity. Over the past decade, she has gained international recognition for her figurative paintings, which explore overlooked and invisible aspects of history and contemporary everyday life. In 2017, she was awarded the Turner Prize.

Himid has long desired to create a publication that offers a comprehensive account of the key themes and concerns in her work throughout her career. Produced in close collaboration with the artist, both in terms of content and design, this beautifully illustrated volume draws inspiration from her interests in theatre design, architecture, sound, and poetry. Key works reflect Himid's wide-ranging engagement with the history of painting, political satire, poetry, spoken word, spaces for feeling safe and for creativity, textiles, and the non-verbal messages of pattern—all issues that are explored here.

Featuring conversations with the artist, as well as new writing by Himid herself and contributions by a variety of authors, this engaging and beautifully illustrated publication offers fresh perspectives on the work of one of the most important artists working in the UK today.
