Despite the setback of Covid-19, the number of art fairs worldwide grew to a staggering 377 in 2024. The 1-54 fair, which was founded in 2013, with three editions per year—in London, New York and Marrakech—is probably the best-known fair dedicated to African art.

In 2018, the national council of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation in Oklahoma—the fourth-largest Native American tribe in the US—repealed its free press act. The act, passed in 2015, protected the Nation’s independent media, Mvskoke Media, which had closely investigated wrongdoing in the tribal government.
