Through this project, the gallery aims to generate a dialogue between countries with colonial and historical affinities, reflecting on the concept of decoloniality and seeking to promote a reflection on how contemporary African art has been affirming itself on a global scale.
Developed and curated specifically for this year’s edition of the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair as an extension of those presented in the last editions, the project reflects on the emergence of a critical vision of colonialism and on the importance that the African diaspora - materialized in these artists' works - associated curatorial projects, research, and documental studies assume in producing a renewed historical discourse of art in contemporary times.
Cássio Markowski, Cristiano Mangovo, and Samuel Nnorom are artists whose diverse practices converge at the intersection of cultural exploration and profound storytelling.
