Gallery 1957

Gallery 1957 is a leading contemporary art gallery based in Accra, Ghana, with an additional outpost in London. Founded on March 6, 2016, Ghana’s Independence Day by Marwan Zakhem, the gallery takes its name from the year Ghana gained independence. It has since evolved into a vital cultural hub, championing artists from West Africa and the African diaspora while fostering global dialogue through art. With three gallery spaces in Accra and a growing international presence, Gallery 1957 is dedicated to promoting the richness and diversity of contemporary African art. The gallery collaborates with emerging and established artists from the Global South, offering exhibitions, artist residencies, and curated programs that bridge cultures and challenge perspectives. Gallery 1957 continues to play a pivotal role in positioning Ghana as a leading destination for contemporary art on the global stage. Through its exhibitions, partnerships, and artist-led initiatives, the gallery nurtures creativity, cultural exchange, and meaningful dialogue between Africa and the wider world.
