Welcome to Dazed’s initiative EXCHANGE – a new collaborative, cultural exchange powered by Burberry to celebrate creativity, performance, and the arts.
British luxury brand Burberry has long championed freedom of expression and uplifting new voices in creativity from across the globe. The British heritage brand is joining forces with Dazed to celebrast-block-4te queer communities and collectives across London. Entitled EXCHANGE, the project facilitates mentoring and supporting performers and artists, alongside creating a brand new initiative for them to tell the stories they want to tell.
This summer, EXCHANGE kicks off by teaming up with a vital queer space, Mimosa House in London. Founded in 2017 by Daria Khan, Mimosa House is a non-profit art institution and gallery space dedicated to championing conversations between LGBTQIA+ and diasporic artists.
Dazed presents EXCHANGE curated by Mimosa House
Events celebrating and supporting queer collectives.
Reserve a spotAs a cultural exchange, Mimosa House will select artists and talent to showcase, hack the Dazed channels, and throw a series of events celebrating the importance of exchange: nurturing artists, generating new ideas, and fostering collaboration. On 5 July, Daria Khan will curate a night of video and performance works from Agnes Questionmark, Marikiscrycrycry, Vir Andres Hera and Romeo Roxman Gatt simultaneously at the Mimosa House gallery in Holborn and at the Dazed Space here at 180 Strand - and you're all invited.
With the intention to continue advocating for queer communities and collectives, the Burberry and Dazed initiative will extend long term support beyond EXCHANGE, working with Mimosa House to support the charity’s work uplifting queer and trans artists for the rest of the year.
