Additional Information

This piece comes from Lubaina Himid’s Kanga series of paintings, inspired by East African kanga garments. Like this piece, kanga usually feature patterned borders, with a centre made of a different design. A culturally significant item, it has many uses as a skirt, head-wrap, apron, pot-holder, towel, and more. They can be given as gifts on special occasions, and in Tanzania, they are often included as part of a support package for a bereaved family. Himid’s poignant piece features a pair of lungs, and ‘There could be an endless ocean’ reads underneath.
