"Art plays a crucial role in promoting cultural exchange and developing different bridges between the two regions," Touria El Glaoui, founding director of the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, told Xinhua in an interview in the British capital.
Asked about the upcoming edition at Somerset House in London from Oct. 10 to 13, El Glaoui said: "There will be 61 galleries participating with more than 160 artists from all over the African continent and also the African diaspora."
"I see a lot of potential in the future, and it's something that you have to give access to. We have a role to play as well to provide access to contemporary artists from the continent," she said.
