Additional Information

In this piece from 2019, Himid continues to explore women’s creativity through her paintings. Here, the viewer is placed among a group of women deep in conversation and planning. The three women are discussing a map. The clothes they wear are important clues to their conversations ¬– Himid says of her paintings that ‘The dresses talk to each other sometimes: the colours are saying, “I am determined to do things my way but I need you to do what you want to do; how can we solve this”’ and “I am right but I will listen to you”’.
