Africa Basel 2025
Open to the public from June 18 to 22, 2025, with a vernissage on June 17.
Africa Basel Contemporary African Art Fair provides a significant platform for African art. The fair creates a space where artists can connect with collectors, curators, and audiences, offering an opportunity for African art to be showcased on its own terms, free from external labels like “trends” or “bubbles”.
With a focus on quality, innovation, and context, Africa Basel supports galleries in presenting the diverse range of African artistic expression, contributing to the long-term recognition and stability of the artists involved. The fair is more than just a marketplace; it serves as a meeting point for artists, galleries, collectors, and institutions, fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas that shape the future of contemporary African art.
With a strong curatorial emphasis, Africa Basel features a dynamic selection of exhibitors from Africa and beyond, highlighting diverse voices, fresh perspectives, and cross-cultural dialogues. As the first event of its kind in Basel, Africa Basel offers an important new stage for showcasing African artistic talent within the global art calendar.
