Lubaina Himid represents Great Britain at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia in 2026
Cingilli Collection is pleased to support Lubaina Himid's solo presentation for the British Pavilion at the 61st Venice Art Biennale.
Commissioned by the British Council, 'Predicting History: Testing Translation' is on view from 9 May to 22 November 2026. Through a series of monumental paintings and an immersive sound installation, the exhibition considers themes of migration, memory, displacement, and the ongoing processes of translation, belonging, and home-making.
The presentation brings together Himid's distinctive figurative paintings, depicting tailors, cooks, and architects, with a newly commissioned sound work developed in collaboration with Magda Stawarska, creating a layered exploration of history, movement, and cultural exchange.
