In the early 1980s three exhibitions in London curated by Lubaina Himid Five Black Women at the African Centre (1983) Black Women Time Now at Battersea Arts Centre (1983-4) and The Thin Black Line at ICA London (1985) marked the arrival on the British art scene of a radical generation of young Black and Asian women artist. They challenged their collective invisibility in the art world and engaged with social, cultural, political and aesthetic issues of the time.
