    To Present Africa’s Emerging Art Talent, 1952 Africa Hosts Collectors’ Evening, Divergence Exhibition

    To Present Africa’s Emerging Art Talent, 1952 Africa Hosts Collectors’ Evening, Divergence Exhibition

     

    This award aims to support artists who envision bold futures for the continent, honoring Wigwe’s dedication to the transformative power of African art.

    1952 Africa, a foundation dedicated to nurturing emerging African artists, proudly announces two landmark events as part of Lagos Art Week: the Collectors’ Evening on November 2, followed by the public opening of the Divergence Exhibition on November 3 at the 1952 Africa Gallery in Lekki, Lagos.

     

    Since its inception, 1952 Africa has committed itself to advancing African art through its Art Accelerator Residency Program —a year-round creative residency that provides artists with dedicated mentorship, world-class facilities, and access to a network of leading art industry professionals. This initiative empowers young African artists to explore their identities, challenge artistic conventions, and contribute to a new narrative about Africa on the global stage. During the residency, artists work in the foundation’s ArtHouse—a collaborative space designed to foster creative exploration and dialogue, providing artists with both the tools and the encouragement to elevate their practices.

     

    The Collectors’ Evening on November 2 is an invitation-only event, welcoming prominent art collectors, curators, and patrons to an intimate preview of this year’s residency artists’ works. The evening will also feature a tribute to the late Chizi Wigwe, a passionate supporter of 1952 Africa and a former board member, with the establishment of the Chizi Wigwe Prize for African Futurism.

    This award aims to support artists who envision bold futures for the continent, honoring Wigwe’s dedication to the transformative power of African art. His personal art collection will also be on display, showcasing his legacy and deep commitment to African culture.

    “Our mission is not only to develop individual artistic careers but to build an enduring cultural bridge between Africa and the world,” said Amanda Madumere, Program Manager at 1952 Africa. “Our Collectors’ Evening serves as a pivotal opportunity to connect influential art champions with the artists who are redefining African creativity.”

    On November 3, the Divergence Exhibition will open to the public, offering an array of thought-provoking pieces created by the residency artists.

    Through a mix of mediums, visitors will witness diverse perspectives on themes ranging from identity, heritage, and socio-political issues to contemporary African urban life and dreams of the continent’s future.

    Each work reflects the growth of the artist within the residency program, showcasing how 1952 Africa’s immersive support has empowered them to take bold, creative strides.

    Through the 1952 Africa Art Accelerator Residency, the foundation has fostered a community where artists can not only develop their skills but also connect with mentors, curators, and industry leaders who provide guidance on building sustainable, impactful art careers.

    This approach has already helped numerous artists achieve both local recognition and international exposure, transforming lives and amplifying African voices in the art world.
