1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, the leading international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and the African diaspora, announced its in-person return to New York after two years, set to take place over four days from

19 – 22 May 2022.

The return of 1-54 New York saw an international line-up of 25 galleries from across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, including galleries from New York, such as Cierra Britton Gallery, Fridman Gallery, Hannah Traore Gallery, Medium Tings, Long Gallery, Montague Contemporary, Superposition Gallery and Galerie Carole Kvasnevski, among others.

1-54 New York moved to a new location at Harlem Parish, a grand yet intimate venue located in Central Harlem. The fair was accompanied by a series of events throughout Harlem.

1-54 New York was accompanied by 1-54 Forum, the fair’s acclaimed program of talks, performances, and screenings that explore the work and practice of artists from Africa and its diaspora. Novella Ford, Associate Director for Public Programs and Exhibitions at Harlem’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, was selected as Curator.
