We are incredibly proud to share that Gallery 1957 has been featured in The Art Newspaper, highlighting our role in supporting and showcasing African diasporic artists. The article explores the growing trend of African artists exhibiting on the continent and the importance of platforms like ours in facilitating this important cultural exchange.
As the article states:
"In West Africa, Gallery 1957, established in 2016, has been an important hub: hosting shows with work by the British-Nigerian artist Tunji Adeniyi-Jones; the British-Ghanaian artist Adelaide Damoah; the British-Sierra Leonean artist Julianknxx; the London-born artist of Caribbean heritage Michaela Yearwood-Dan; and the Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo, while he was based in Vienna."
We’re honored to be recognized in such a prestigious publication and deeply appreciate the thoughtful coverage by Saeed Kamali Dehghan. His work continues to shed light on important artists and cultural movements, and we are grateful to be part of this conversation.
Special thanks to Gameli Hamelo, for capturing the essence of the dynamic relationship between African artists and their heritage, and for including Gallery 1957 in this important dialogue.
