1-54 London Puts African Modernists in the Spotlight
From 15 to 18 October 2026, the 14th London edition of the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair takes place at Somerset House, with a press and VIP preview on the 15th. A gallery presentation there is devoted to Modernist artists from Africa and its diaspora, running alongside Frieze London, 14 to 18 October. For Tribes & Trends, rereading modernism from the continent is the most accurate way to place contemporary creation.
