Preview for the exhibition, The Thin Black Line at the ICA from the text: “’My work is a mixture of humour, fury, celebration and optimism depending upon your health, your wealth, your colour and gender’ says artist-selector Lubaina Himid in the catalogue accompanying The Thin Black Line. She could be speaking for all eleven black women artists who’ve made it to the ICA in what must be record time for an institution that usually prefers international reputation to contemporary bite. Like Sutapa Biswas’ The Only Good Indian, which I wouldn’t advise Leon Brittan to see unless his heart is strong.”
