THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Africans Column’s guide to 1-54 London selected 20 women artists across generations, including Bertina Lopes, Baya, Esther Mahlangu, Thandiwe Muriu and Theresah Ankomah. Its account connected painting, photography, ceramics and textiles with questions of cultural memory and representation, while discussing the fair’s African Modernism spotlight. Published ahead of the 15–18 October fair at Somerset House, the selection reflected the announced programme rather than a definitive ranking or a post-event assessment.
