1:54 stands for the 54 separate countries that make up the 1 continent of Africa and the art fair's representation of the whole African Diaspora. This can be seen in the installation of the courtyard by Trinidadian artist Zak Ove and my absolute favourite showcase by Emo De Medeiros who is based between France and Benin ( final 3 works above Zak's statues). Galleries from all over the world exhibited photography, painting and 3D works across each wing of the vast palace galleries and Worldwide.FM were in residence broadcasting live, interviewing the artists. Catch up on their podcasts here.
