1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair returns for its fifth edition at Somerset House with an expanded programme of exhibitions, special projects and talks.
About
The 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair takes place at Somerset House each October, showcasing more than 150 contemporary artists from Africa and the African diaspora. It’s an opportunity to enjoy contemporary African art in mediums including painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation, with a cross-section of works from across the continent.
Over the past four years 1:54 has established itself as a leading voice in the global discussion on contemporary African art, and this year spotlights 41 leading galleries specialising in contemporary African art from 18 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North America. Special Projects will accompany the edition, providing a platform for nonprofit cultural organisations to realise project-based presentations.
