CONDUCTOR

Featuring a curated selection of visionary artists representing Brazil, Nigeria, Palestine, Puerto Rico, Australia, Mexico, the South Asian diaspora, and the Thai and Indonesian diasporas, this preview offers a glimpse into what lies ahead for 2026—an ambitious fair presentation that will amplify the stories of Global Majority artists working at the intersection of tradition and transformation.

By bringing together esteemed exhibitors and artists, sponsors and cultural partners, CONDUCTOR seeks to build a foundation for a landmark event that redefines engagement with art of the Global Majority. In a world where margins are shifting—and long-overlooked perspectives demand their due—this initiative stands as both a celebration and an examination of the forces shaping contemporary artistic expression.

Join us in welcoming this new incubator for trailblazing galleries and artists powering the future of global art discourse—a platform that does not merely include, but centers, cultural diplomacy in the arts ecosystem. As cultural narratives shift and global conversations evolve, there exists now more than ever an opportunity to cultivate a vital platform to build bridges and foster trans-cultural dialogue as a vibrant tool to harness the growing arts economy in New York.

• MAHKU (Brazil) through Carmo Johnson Projects
• Gabriella Torres-Ferrer (Puerto Rico) with Embajada
• Ray Smith (Mexico/U.S.), collective Mono Rojo (Mexico), and Fabien Capello (French, lives and works in Mexico) with AGO Projects
