Who we are

In the heart of Africa, where vibrant cultures converge and stories are woven into the very fabric of existence, there exists a beacon of hope and creativity known as 1952 Africa.

This foundation was born from a profound belief that art transcends boundaries, connects humanity, and has the power to transform lives. At 1952 Africa, we are on a mission to support African artists in their quest to create without the burden of financial constraints, nurturing the incredible talent that resides within this diverse continent.

The Birth of a Vision

Africa witnessed a surge of cultural expression, artistic brilliance, and a fervent desire to narrate its unique stories to the world. This pivotal moment in history inspired the birth of our foundation.

With a vision to uplift African artists and their art, 1952 Africa was founded. We believe that every stroke of the brush, every note of music, and every step in dance tells a story worth sharing.
