The Armory Show 2025 | Journey into Becoming – Cultural Authenticity and Universality

Loft Art Gallery is pleased to announce its inaugural participation at The Armory Show, taking place from the 5th to the 7th of September 2025 at the Javits Center, New York (Booth 408).

The gallery presents Journey into Becoming – Cultural Authenticity and Universality, a group presentation featuring Mohamed Melehi, pioneer of Moroccan modernism, alongside contemporary voices Amina Agueznay, Amina Rezki, Kwaku Yaro, and Radia Lamrani Karim. 

At its centre are two rare works by Melehi, including a 1971 cellulose painting with his iconic wave motif. These sit in dialogue with Agueznay’s architectural weavings,Rezki’s transcultural painted compositions, Yaro’s portraits made from everyday materials of Ghanaian life, such as plastic-woven mats and market bags, and Lamrani Karim’s luminous abstract landscapes.

The presentation forges connections across generations and geographies,highlighting the richness of Arab and African perspectives within a global context.
