To accompany two solo shows of Lubaina Himid’s work at Spike Island and Modern Art Oxford, Nottingham Contemporary has brought together works by more than 25 artists associated with the Black Arts Movement in a major survey of painting, sculpture, film and archives.
Another important group show opens at GoMA in Glasgow this month, which stems from the Contemporary Art Society’s donation of Hito Steyerl’s Abstract (2012) to the museum in 2015. Polygraphs explores how artists create alternative discourses to question dominant narratives in identity, politics and history.
