Marginalized youth don’t often get the chance to showcase their talents and receive the coverage they deserve. Heat of the Moment, formerly known as “We Outsideee!” empowers young musical artists and entrepreneurs, with a focus on BIPOC creators, by giving them a platform to share their talents.

We are dedicated to upholding our values of networking, resume building, and community outreach. Artists and entrepreneurs who come out of Heat of the Moment leave with a festival to add to their resumes and have the opportunity to network with other creatives.

As a modern-day-festival take on the show "Star Search," we hope to provide rising Chicago artists with a performance that can be the stepping stone toward their "big break."

 

Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh™ embarks on a new narrative where free thinking inspires a pioneering format for the future, where the age of imagination is the product of reality.

Inspired by Virgil’s vision and approach to his art, Off-White™ nourishes a collective of creative minds that represent the best in their category and have a strong and personal connection with Virgil. Ibrahim’s relationship with Virgil and Off-White™, born and nurtured through Instagram DMs, blossomed both personally and professionally over the last 3 years creating a strong bond based on mutual respect and shared values.

“Making a successful luxury brand in nine years is genius. It’s a feat that I admire and hope to continue building upon with a rich legacy. He revolutionised streetwear and luxury that crosses generations and decades. He showed the world that the underrepresented, the underdogs and Black people, in particular, have brilliant minds and can push and compete equally in the establishment. He inspired hope and brought about change.” - Ibrahim Kamara, Art&Image Director Off-White™
