Graduating Class 2023 Gucci Changemakers
As part of our Gucci Changemakers London initiative, we invited multi-disciplinary artist Ronan McKenzie to run a series of workshops with young adults from Rise 365, Art Against Knives, The Advocacy Academy, and our Gucci Changemakers London scholars from London College of Fashion, UAL.
Together, the group co-created a series of artworks that went on display to the public at 180 The Strand. Showcasing the power of imagination when we’re radically inclusive.
This was part of Gucci’s continued multi-year commitment to opening up the creative industries in London, with more to follow throughout the next decade.
