Brief review of the exhibition Unrecorded Truths (wrongly named Untold Stories). From the article: “The Elbow Room is at present little more than a dusty space in a derelict block at the end of a cul-de-sac. But the artists telling their Untold Stories here are angry.”

Brief profile of artist and founder of The Elbow Room Gallery, Lubaina Himid - article is accompanied by a photograph of the artist in the gallery. From the article: “In 1979, when Lubaina Himid, three years out of art college, started her first gallery in a Covent Garden restaurant, her artists, with one exception, were white. ‘There aren’t really any black artists’, remarked a respected art world friend two years later. Lubaina couldn’t contradict but thought: ‘somehow, somewhere, something was wrong.’”
