The 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair has announced the exhibitors participating in its sixth London edition. From October 4-7, 42 galleries from 21 countries will present work at Somerset House, with work by some 130 artists from 33 nations.
Touria El Glaoui, founding director of 1-54—which started in London before adding satellite edition in the U.S. and Morocco—said in a statement, “Following the launch of our inaugural Marrakech fair in February and our fourth New York edition in May, we have gone on to develop new audiences for contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora across three fairs and three different continents. The growth and popularity of the fair is a real testament to the shift away from Euro-centric art-historical narratives.”
Of the 42 exhibitors in London this year, 16 are from Africa. Eleven of the galleries will show at the London edition of the fair for the first time, including James Cohan, Burning in Water, and ADN Galeria.
