Why Khameleon?
It really is an honour to be involved with a company that champions the voices and creativity of global majority artists and creatives. I also admire the ambition Khameleon has in wanting to initiate systemic change in our creative industries and actively creating work and conversation around that. The way this company is creating dialogue and art around how we perceive, embrace and uphold Classics and canon around artistry in a way that is accessible is really needed.
