The fair aims to promote on an international level established and emerging talents from Africa and the African Diaspora." Omar Ben Yedder, managing director of IC Publications said, "African art is finally getting the attention its artists and art deserves and 1:54 will be a showcase for a lot of what is good in African art today. We are truly excited about 1:54 I am delighted as this is something that is very close to me personally. Touria has put together an impressive and highly talented team to lead this initiative. I think that all lovers of art have something very exciting to look forward to later this year and African art, thanks to 1:54, will have its deserved place on the international stage. Expect a vibrant exhibition of colour, emotion and passion". For more, go to www.africasia.com
