This celebrated figure will receive the esteemed Special Recognition Award for Cultural Curation during the event, scheduled for December 5th at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall.
This recognition serves as a testament to Hack’s unwavering commitment to empowering young talents through the transformative power of creativity. His exceptional contributions have provided a wealth of opportunities for emerging artists across fashion, design, art, music, and various creative realms. Hack’s dedication to offering a platform to the next generation of creatives is truly exceptional, making a profound impact on the cultural landscape.
As the co-founder of Dazed Media, a prominent media conglomerate housing influential brands like AnOther Magazine, Dazed, Dazed Beauty, and Nowness, Hack’s influence goes well beyond cultural curation. He is a visionary architect of futures, enabling countless individuals to actualize their potential and aspirations. The citation succinctly captures his profound impact, stating, «Hack is not only responsible for curating culture but also for cultivating brighter futures for the many individuals he encounters.»
Over the span of three decades, Hack’s platform has left an indelible mark on our cultural tapestry. His work transcends conventional boundaries, fearlessly diving into non-stereotypical narratives encompassing gender, race, and identity. With boundless curiosity, he has pushed the boundaries of art, fashion, photography, music, and performance, sparking meaningful dialogue and fostering innovation. The BFC rightfully acknowledges that his influence has reshaped our understanding of culture itself.
Last year, another luminary from the Dazed Media family, B Kamara, the editor-in-chief of Dazed Magazine, was celebrated with the Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator. This accolade recognized his remarkable contributions to culture, art, and fashion. Kamara’s unwavering commitment to challenging stereotypes and the status quo mirrors the ethos of Dazed Media and its trailblazing co-founder, Jefferson Hack. Together, they continue to shape and redefine the cultural landscape for generations to come.
