We are excited to share that the works of our fellow Zanele Muholi will be shown at 1-54 Presents exhibition series in Hong Kong.


On view at Christie’s Hong Kong from March 26 – 30 March 2024, Coalescent Lights curated by Kami Gahiga celebrates distinguished luminaries who share a history of having showcased at 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair. The exhibition weaves together a rich tapestry of aesthetic philosophies and approaches, offering a unique opportunity to glimpse into developments within contemporary African art.

Coalescent Lights is the third iteration of the 1-54 Presents exhibition series, its very first in Asia, and draws on conceptual threads across multiple artistic generations, highlighting 1-54’s unwavering commitment to expanding the discourse on contemporary African art. For the past twelve years, the fair has greatly contributed to the institutional and market recognition of African artists. The show spotlights a curated selection of artworks by artists who have enriched the canon and left a significant mark at 1-54, spanning a vast array of mediums, including painting, photography, sculptural installation and textile pieces.
