Joël Andrianomearisoa's installation on view at the 1–54 Contemporary African Art Fair

May 9 – 11, 2025 | The Halo, 28 Liberty Street, New York, NY, US

On the occasion of the 1–54 Contemporary African Art Fair, Almine Rech is pleased to support Joël Andrianomearisoa's installation FIGURES OF MIRACLE, on view at the entrance of the fair. 

FIGURES OF MIRACLE is an installation and gesture made of raffia, a material that transcends its function as fiber to become a carrier of history, labor, and cultural resonance. The material speaks, carries the whispers of Madagascar, the touch of generations, the complexity of cultural memory. Raffia is not merely woven but charged with the weight of hands that have worked it for centuries, connecting past to present, tradition to contemporary expression.
