| Description | Probably written at time of Claudette Johnson's exhibition 'Pushing back the boundaries' at Rochdale Art Gallery (13 October-17 November 1990), curated by Himid. It may have been drafted for a related event, such as a lecture or seminar, because the text does not match that of Himid's short introduction to the exhibition catalogue.
Text discusses difficulties of Black artists, particularly Black women artists, in the British art world.
