Wondering where to see more of the 1-54 artists? Catch up with the artists who exhibited at 1-54 London and discover what they’ve been working on since the fair.
Presented at 1-54 London by Project Loop, Jordan Zayas Kelly is a London-based interdisciplinary artist who holds degrees from Columbia University (2022) and the Royal College of Art (2025). Her work has been exhibited internationally in London, New York, and Los Angeles, and has featured in publications such as Vogue, Office Magazine, and Flash Art.
Kelly works across video, sculpture, sound, and prose, exploring identity, material history, and archival memory. Through tactile materials such as sugar, denim, cotton, and steel, she reclaims overlooked histories and challenges institutional narratives, examining how personal experience, cultural memory, and the political intersect.
Kelly is currently exibhiting in the group show 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 at the London-based gallery Split Riviera until 29 November 2026.

Want a glimpse into Morocco🇲🇦? In the heart of London, at 1-54, visitors experienced the warmth, craftsmanship, and layered beauty of a traditional Moroccan living room, brought to life through a collaboration with the Moroccan National Tourist Office.
Let it open onto the colours, textures, and rhythms of Morocco itself - an invitation to explore and travel further.
From London to Morocco, the conversation continues.
And if you’re already dreaming ahead ... 1-54 Marrakech 2027 is waiting.

✨Thank you for joining us as 1-54 London 2026✨
It was a pleasure to return to Somerset House for the 14th edition of 1-54 London. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who visited the fair and contributed to making this edition such a memorable success.
Over four remarkable days, Somerset House became a vibrant space for dialogue, discovery, and connection, bringing together artists, galleries, collectors, and audiences from across Africa and its global diasporas.
We are deeply grateful to all the exhibitors, artists, partners, supporters, and visitors who helped make 1-54 London 2026 such a success. Together, we continue to strengthen a growing community dedicated to celebrating and championing contemporary African art.
We look forward to welcoming you to our next fair in Marrakech from 18–21 March 2027, at the iconic La Mamounia.
See you soon!

Presented by In Situ - fabienne leclerc, winners of our Spotlight Award, Beau Disundi is a Congolese artist currently living and working in Brussels.
Disundi’s practice encompasses sculpture, drawing, and large-scale installation to investigate the impacts of globalisation on cultural identity and ecology. Central to his practice is the conceptual exploration of makayabu (salted dried cod) to explore global history, personal histories, and macro-geopolitics.
Most recently, Disundi has presented in the group exhibition Embracing Grounds, curated by Otobong Nkanga at In Situ – fabienne leclerc in Paris (2026); the inaugural AfricaBasel art fair in Switzerland (2025); and a collaborative project with Sammy Baloji at Goldsmiths CCA in London (2024).
