CULTURE SHAPES HOW WE SEE OURSELVES.
YET MUCH OF WHAT WE ENCOUNTER TODAY IS FILTERED THROUGH ALGORITHMS, FRAGMENTED BY ECHO CHAMBERS AND DRIVEN BY THE PACE OF THE NEWS CYCLE. IMPORTANT VOICES ARE EASILY OVERLOOKED, AND LASTING CONTRIBUTIONS CAN DISAPPEAR BENEATH THE NOISE.

THROUGH CAREFULLY CURATED PORTRAITURE, EDITORIAL PROJECTS AND CULTURAL COLLABORATIONS, XLV BRINGS TOGETHER THE PEOPLE, IDEAS AND STORIES SHAPING OUR FUTURE. FROM ACTIVISTS TO ARTISTS, INNOVATORS TO EXPLORERS, THEY REMIND US THAT HOPE CAN BE FOUND IN PEOPLE, IN WHO WE ARE AND IN WHO WE CAN BECOME. THEIR WORK DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERED.

EACH CHAPTER CONTRIBUTES TO A RICHER, MORE HOPEFUL PICTURE OF OUR TIME. ONE THAT BROADENS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF MODERN BRITAIN BY CELEBRATING POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION.

FOUNDED BY JAIME BRADLEY-COAN, XLV DRAWS ON TWO DECADES OF EXPERIENCE SPANNING ARTIST MANAGEMENT, CREATIVE DIRECTION, PRODUCTION AND VISUAL STORYTELLING. HER DISTINCTIVE APPROACH HAS BEEN BUILT THROUGH YEARS EMBEDDED IN THE SCENES, COMMUNITIES AND NETWORKS WHERE CULTURE, INFLUENCE AND SOCIAL CHANGE ARE MADE.

EVERY CHAPTER ASKS ONE QUESTION.

WHAT IS WORTH PRESERVING?
