BEFORE ANYONE ELSE

DENIZ AKKAYA

A Burberry-backed exhibition is bringing together new voices from arts and culture…

Burberry and London-based publication and platform Boy.Brother.Friend have teamed up to present Before Anyone Else, a three-day public exhibition bringing together international artists from the worlds of photography, fashion, music and more.

For three days, the London-based magazine Boy.Brother.Friend, which focuses on art, fashion, writing and photography from the African diaspora, takes over a grand, two-storey space attached to the flagship store of Burberry on Regent’s Street, with a group show of work that proposes and probes the possibility of a collective, Black transnational aesthetic.

This exhibition is accompanied by a series of onsite talks and performances, and coincides with the release of Boy.Brother.Friend’s third issue, which explores migration in Marseille and Paris and features work by Mohammed Bourouissa.
