With biannual editions in London and New

fifty-four countries that constitute the African continent, 1:54 is a
sustainable and dynamic platform that is engaged in contemporary dialogue and
exchange.
Initiated by Touria El Glaoui in 2013,
October 2016 will mark its fourth consecutive edition at Somerset House, having
returned from its second New York edition in May 2016.
1:54 London 2016 will showcase about 40
exhibitors, presenting over 150 African and African diasporan artists across
the East, South and West Wings of Somerset House. 1:54 London 2016 will be
accompanied by an educational and artistic programme, FORUM, curated by Koyo
Kouoh and
will include lectures, film screenings and panel discussions
with international curators, artists and art professionals.
