1-54 Supports Morocco

1-54 x Hassan Hajjaj at 1-54 London 2023

Hassan Hajjaj is partnering with 1-54 to produce a limited edition print to raise funds for those affected by the devastating earthquake in Morocco last month. The limited edition print of 40 was available to purchase for a minimum 900 GBP from the Bookshop at the fair, but we followed a give-what-you-want policy, should customers wish to donate more. All proceeds from the print sale go to Assafou Association, a non-profit focused on education for children and women in rural communities in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains.  An edition of the photograph will be on display at the National Portrait Gallery in November as part of the In Focus display at the Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize 2023.

You can also purchase an edition of the print via [email protected].

This year’s edition of 1-54 London will see a portion of our ticket sales and profits from all 1-54 merchandise donated to the Assafou Association. Visit our Bookshop situated in Upper Embankment during the fair to support!
