Under Touria El Glaoui's guidance, the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair has become a flagship event in the art world, providing a platform for emerging and established artists from Africa and the diaspora to showcase their work. The fair has been held in major cities around the world, including London, Marrakech and New York, and has attracted a diverse audience of art enthusiasts, collectors, and curators.

Touria's visionary mindset extends far beyond the art world.
