1-54 Marrakech
1-54 is the leading international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora. The Marrakech edition, held at La Mamounia hotel, offers an intimate and culturally resonant context for the fair, situated at the crossroads of Africa, the Arab world, and Europe. It is an essential companion to the London and New York editions.

Unknown City
Founded in London in 2013, 1-54 takes its name from the 54 countries of the African continent. The fair has played a transformative role in raising the international profile of African contemporary art, creating a platform for both established names and emerging voices. The Marrakech setting adds a charged poetic dimension to the programme.
Marrakech in February is perfect — warm and golden before the summer heat. The fair coincides with the broader cultural energy of La Mamounia, one of the world's great hotels, and invites exploration of the medina's extraordinary craft traditions alongside some of the most exciting contemporary art emerging from the continent.
City Guides
Marrakech is a city of intoxicating contrasts: the ancient medina with its souks and riads, the Jardin Majorelle (owned by the Yves Saint Laurent estate), and the Museum of Photography. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech opened in 2017 and explores the designer's profound relationship with Morocco. The Djemaa el-Fna square is one of the great public stages of the world.
