Gallery Girl
In 2018, lawyer Maryam Lawal founded House of African Art (HAART), a platform dedicated to showcasing artists from Africa and the diaspora in London. The formation of such a project seems timely given the recent growth in market interest towards art from Africa. Running as a pop-up space, HAART provides support and recognition to established and early-career artists, while creating an exciting art environment through exhibitions, performances, talks and events. Gallery Girl met with Maryam to talk about the foundation of HAART, her plans for the future and HAART’s most recent Peckham exhibition.
