Overview
New publication accompanying the major exhibition by Turner-prize winning artist Lubaina Himid CBE, working with artist Magda Stawarska, at Kettle's Yard, University of Cambridge.
Another Chance Encounter celebrates Lubaina Himid's first UK museum exhibition since 2018. Beautifully designed in collaboration with the artist, this fully illustrated book documents three new bodies of paintings and installations created for the exhibition at Kettle’s Yard, one made in collaboration with artist and master printmaker Magda Stawarska. Inspired by the unique Kettle's Yard house and collection, Himid's new work illuminates figures and histories often considered marginal. Himid will populate the Kettle’s Yard house with paintings in cupboards and drawers, and display a new collection of found and made objects and in the galleries. The publication follows Himid as she brilliantly crafts alternative histories with her distinctive bold colors and characters. The book will include new texts by Amy Tobin, Amelia Groom and Aneta Krzemien in conversation with Magda Starwarska, as well as Himid's own writing.
