Osman Yousefzada is a celebrated multi-disciplinary artist whose global fashion label is worn by celebrities including Beyoncé, Lupita Nyong’o, Thandiwe Newton, Gwen Stefani, Emma Watson and Freida Pinto. In The Go-Between, his coming-of–age memoir, he describes his upbringing amidst a conservative Pakistani/Afghan Pashtun community. Living in the red-light district of central Birmingham, he had to balance Western school teachings with cultural traditions, weaving between worlds and struggling with the dual burdens of racism and community expectations. Osman has exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum, Design Museum London, Ringling Museum in Florida and Cincinnati Art Museum in Ohio. 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.
