Join us for an evening of exhibitions, talks, music, free drinks and snacks.

Featuring new and significant works, this exhibition is the first full-scale European survey presenting the collaborative artistic practice of Lubaina Himid and Magda Stawarska. Conceived as a performance, the exhibition emerges from a decade-long dialogue between British painter Lubaina Himid (1954, Zanzibar), a leading figure of the British Black Arts Movement, and multidisciplinary Polish artist Magda Stawarska (1976, Ruda Śląska, Poland), whose practice combines moving images, soundscapes and screen printing.

In their exhibition Nets for Night and Day, memory unfolds as a score narrated through paintings and drawings, as well as sculpture, silkscreen printing, photography and sound installation. Visitors will find themselves on a journey aboard ships, venturing across carts, and ambling into dreamscapes rendered by the artists’ collective imagination.
