The international art exhibition of African art "1-54" is the first event in the world dedicated to contemporary art from the African continent. The organization of three "1-54" exhibitions takes place in New York, London, and Marrakech, as well as an annual contemporary exhibition in Paris. The figure "1-54" indicates the number of countries participating in this event.
The global exhibition "1-54" is aimed at presenting a clear vision of contemporary art in Africa, as well as showcasing various perspectives of Africans, including diverse interpretations of their experiences in the diaspora. The exhibition includes halls dedicated to contemporary art, as well as spaces for artists, collective discussions, and presentations of specific artistic projects.
A quote from the representative of the event: "Our goal is to make the artistic works of Africans more accessible and understandable to the global community, contributing to the enrichment of the global artistic culture."
