Résumé

In the insightful interview with Lubaina Himid during her exhibition "Naming the Money" at Bordeaux's CAPC Contemporary Art Museum on October 31, 2019, she addresses the gaps in history and the importance of filling those voids within the museum's narrative. Himid emphasizes the need to reveal the hidden histories of Britain's wealth, often acquired through slavery, and how her exhibitions aim to bring attention to these overlooked aspects. The discussion delves into her artistic choices, such as drawing inspiration from Hogarth's paintings and her unique approach to addressing slavery in art. Additionally, Himid shares her perspective on the political nature of her work, preferring a dialogue over opposition, and highlights the complexities of exhibiting her art in the context of historical collections. The interview covers various aspects of her creative process, material choices, literary influences, and the significance of naming in her installation "Naming the Money." Himid also explains the poetic dimension in her work and the exploration of the ghostly trauma in the "Le Rodeur" series, connecting it to the Zong Massacre and the moral contradictions within historical narratives. Overall, the interview provides a comprehensive understanding of Lubaina Himid's artistic vision, historical engagement, and the multifaceted layers embedded in her thought-provoking exhibitions.
