    Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux

    In this episode, we sit down with Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux, a painter working between Paris and Abidjan. His work resonates with what Diptyk Magazine has coined as “l’œuvre noire”, not a posture or aesthetic stance, but a true atelier of nuance. A practice grounded in depth, tension, and layered sensibilities, where painting becomes a space to explore density, memory, and quiet intensity. Moving between Paris and Abidjan, Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux develops a rigorous pictorial language shaped by circulation, context, and lived experience. The conversation was recorded at La Mamounia during 1-54 Art Fair Marrakech 2026, with host Meryem Sebti and co-host Olivier Rachet.

    Margaux Huille

    In this episode, we sit down with Margaux Huille during the latest edition of 1-54 Art Fair in Marrakech. Having previously worked on the fair in Marrakech, Margaux shares her decision to transition from the fast-paced environment of an international art fair to a new chapter in Madagascar, where she is now working with Fondation H. Our conversation traces this geographic and professional shift, reflecting on what it means to move from producing a major art event to engaging with a foundation context rooted in a different local landscape. A grounded discussion on mobility within the art world, evolving roles behind the scenes, and the personal and professional recalibrations that come with choosing a new terrain.

    Samira El Hachioui [EN]

    In this episode, we meet Samira El Hachioui, Managing Director of Education For All Morocco, a charity that transforms the lives of girls from rural areas by giving them real access to education. Alongside this commitment, Samira is also a thoughtful and engaged art collector, with a particular sensitivity to Moroccan and international contemporary art. Our conversation moves between these two worlds that rarely intersect: the social impact of education, and the intimate, inquisitive relationship one builds with art. We talk about what it means to support girls’ futures in a moment when education has become a central demand for Morocco’s younger generations, how personal collections are shaped by intuition and responsibility, and how art and activism can feed one another. A sincere, inspiring dialogue with someone who moves gracefully between purpose and passion and who reminds us that collecting, like education, is ultimately a way of investing in futures.

    Ridha Moumni

    In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ridha Moumni, Tunisian art historian, archaeologist, former Villa Medici fellow, and now Chairman for the Middle East & Africa at Christie’s in London. His career moves between scholarship, heritage work, and the global art market,  a perspective that gives him a rare, layered understanding of how Arab and African art circulates, is valued, and is narrated. We talk about what it means to shift from academia to the market, how research can shape commercial decisions, and how institutions like Christie’s are approaching Africa and the Middle East today. The conversation touches on provenance and ethics, the idea of “emerging markets”, the place of local actors in global infrastructures, and the delicate balance between cultural value and financial value. A thoughtful, grounded discussion with someone who navigates the art world’s most complex intersections: memory, ethics, and market dynamics.

    Léonard Pongo

    In this episode, I sit down with Léonard Pongo, the Belgian-Congolese visual artist whose work dissolves the boundaries between photography, video, performance and installation. Born in Liège and trained in political science, Pongo has developed a visual language deeply rooted in Congolese realities, yet always infused with myth, ritual and memory. We talk about his celebrated projects, from The Uncanny to Primordial Earth,  and the ways they reframe the Congo through dense, dreamlike images that hover between the spiritual and the visceral. Our conversation explores how he uses photography as a space of transmission, how he approaches the sacred in his work, and what it means to portray a country through its inner landscapes rather than its surface narratives. A rich, introspective dialogue with an artist who is redefining documentary practice, turning it into a poetic form that opens new ways of seeing.

    Jean-Sylvain Tshilumba

    In this episode, I speak with Jean-Sylvain Tshilumba Mukendi, cultural practitioner and artistic coordinator at Atelier Picha in Lubumbashi. His work sits at the crossroads of research, artistic production, and the building of independent cultural infrastructures on the African continent. With Picha, he helps shape spaces where artists can experiment, learn, and circulate their practices beyond traditional institutional models. We talk about what it means to work within an independent art ecosystem, the challenges of funding, visibility and mobility, and how photographic practices have become central to Picha’s curatorial approach. The conversation also explores the networks of solidarity that sustain artistic communities, the specificities of operating outside conventional institutions, and the future of autonomous spaces across Africa. A grounded and generous exchange with someone who thinks deeply about how art communities grow, survive, and imagine new forms of independence.

    Touria El Glaoui (2025)

    Enregistré à Somerset House, au cœur de la foire 1-54 London 2025, cet épisode capte Touria El Glaoui dans son élément, en pleine orchestration de cette édition londonienne qui marque une étape stratégique dans l’histoire de la foire : le basculement assumé de l’art africain et diasporique du récit périphérique vers le canon institutionnel. Dans cet épisode, nous abordons : • comment 1-54 est devenue, en 13 ans, bien plus qu’une foire : un laboratoire d’idées, un catalyseur culturel, un lieu de construction de récits structurants ; • comment cette édition londonienne articule exigence curatoriale, circulation des œuvres, archives, valorisation des patrimoines photographiques et montée en puissance des galeries basées sur le continent ; • le rôle de 1-54 dans la transformation du marché : structuration des prix, accompagnement des collectionneurs, création de passerelles entre musées, institutions et artistes ; • et enfin, une réflexion sur l’avenir : que signifie vraiment « ne plus être à la périphérie » ? et à quoi pourrait ressembler 1-54 en 2035 ? Une conversation vivante, nourrie, enregistrée dans le pouls de Somerset House, avec la femme qui a ouvert des portes, construit des ponts, et déplacé les lignes de l’art contemporain africain.
