Affordable Art Fair NYC Fall 2024

Harsh Collective is pleased to announce its acceptance of the Affordable Art Fair Fellowship commencing for the Fall 2024 edition of the fair. The fair will take place from September 25th to 29th at the Metropolitan Pavilion located at 125 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011, USA.

Harsh Collective’s group presentation at the Affordable Art Fair will feature work by Johanna Kestilä, Gabriela Kramer, and Uzo Njoku. The booth (#F3) examines the work of these three female-identifying artists whose art and practice are inspired by the nature of the nations they call home.

Njoku is a Nigerian-born artist who moved to the U.S. as a child. Her work reflects the joy that exists within Black communities and spaces, often portraying her beloved subjects in the act of coming together in celebration. Kramer is an artist born in California, who lived in Tel Aviv for twelve years and now resides in New York. Her work reflects the Mediterranean's vibrant colors and celebrates Tel Aviv's beautifully hectic nature that allowed her to heal childhood wounds while abroad. Kestilä is a Finnish artist who began her artistic career with a focus on textiles and is an art therapist in Finland, a country whose culture, she explains, often discourages openly sharing and exploring one’s emotions and traumas.
