Southern Guild returns to The Armory Show at the Javits Center in New York from 5-7 September with a compelling presentation of works by seminal voices from the gallery's stable. Marking a third consecutive year at the fair, Southern Guild will show new paintings, sculpture and photography by Kamyar Bineshtarigh, Amine El Gotaibi, Madoda Fani, Terence Maluleke, Manyaku Mashilo, Roméo Mivekannin, Zanele Muholi, Mmangaliso Nzuza, Ayotunde Ojo, Zizipho Poswa and Usha Seejarim.

The multidisciplinary works navigate the intersections of identity, history and form, offering considered reflections on personhood and placemaking. Representing diverse perspectives from South Africa, Morocco, Benin and Nigeria, the presentation amplifies the gallery’s dedication to African artists whose practices challenge conventional boundaries and contribute meaningfully to global contemporary discourse.

Over the past year, Southern Guild has further developed relationships with artists across the African continent and diaspora, underscored by the milestone 2024 opening of its Los Angeles space and the substantial expansion of its presence on the international fair circuit. The focused presentation at The Armory Show embodies the gallery’s evolving curatorial vision and its commitment to fostering transcontinental dialogues.
