    1-54 Forum London 2021 | The Virtual Salon

    1-54 Forum London 14 - 17 October 2021 The Virtual Salon The digital, the virtual, the augmented, the real, the imagined; A.F.K versus I.R.L—the lexicon around our digital world both perplexes and invigorates ‘our’ collective consciousness. In the western world, debates of African digitality often summon references to ‘digital divides’ and social inequity. The reality, in many instances, contrarily exhibits a much more complex picture. Internet diffusion across the continent has proliferated at warp speed across the last decade, enabling an entirely new generation of artists and makers to explore the possibilities of digitality in motion. Here, artists have produced a multitude of virtual forms and artefacts; NFTs, memes, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Within these interstitial spaces, creative practitioners have found tools that have enabled new forms of expression—an agency that enables independently-driven storytelling techniques that embody queer, feminist alter-narratives to breathe in open space. Princess Alia al-Senussi, PhD (Cultural strategist, writer, patron, public speaker and academic) leads a discussion with Osinachi (Artist), Sumayya Vally (Principal Architect, Counterspace), Gemma Rolls-Bentley (Chief Curator, Avant Arte) and Tinie Tempah (Rapper and Singer). ww.1-54.com

    1-54 Forum London 2021 | A History of Echoes

    1-54 Forum London 14 - 17 October 2021 A History of Echoes Amidst this symphony of voices: curators, artists and creative collaborators discuss the exhibitions fashioned from the imagination of the late Nigerian curator, Okwui Enwezor (1963-2019). By exploring the sediments of the past, the collective voices herein sketch out a path for listeners to imagine an alternative possible future—one that is inclusive of the dissonant voices and identities, which make up our shared world. Hoor Al Qasimi (President and Director, Sharjah Art Foundation and President, The Africa Institute, Sharjah) leads a conversation with Jo-Anne Birnie-Danzker (former Director, Villa Stuck; Vancouver Art Gallery; Frye Art Museum and Biennale of Sydney), Godfried Donkor(Artist, Gallery 1957) and Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige (Artists). www.1-54.com

    1-54 Forum London 2021 | The Walk Towards the Future

    1-54 Forum London 2021 14 - 17 October The Walk Towards the Future (English) This open-ended conversation explores the concept of artist as philanthropist; the artist as the maker and progenitor of institutions, and the diverse ways that they approach this aspect of their practice. Is institutionalism a form of artistic practice? Or rather, is it a by-product of a hollowed vacuum that requires re-imagining, regenerating? How do these engines fuel a vision for a collective future? How do we sustain them and enliven them with the potential tools required to sustain their existence? Dr. Omar Kholeif leads a conversation with artists Michael Armitage, Bill Kouélany, and Otobong Nkanga. In partnership with Phaidon to celebrate the publication of 'African Artists.'
