Chanel Connects, Kehinde Wiley & Misan Harriman

Yana Peel, Global Head of Arts & Culture at CHANEL joins artist Kehinde Wiley, and the photographer and activist Misan Harriman, in conversation. 

Wiley's portraits have been compared to a long line of past masters including Reynolds, Gainsborough and Titian. In 2017 he became the first Black artist to paint an official portrait of a President of the United States when he was commissioned to paint Barack Obama. Harriman's photographs of the Black Lives Matter movement have become some of the most iconic and widely shared images of the digital age.

The pair unite to discuss everything from painting presidents to photographing royals, myth making and the people who have transformed their lives and careers.
