To honor a decade of impact, Gucci enlisted longtime Gucci CHIME Advisory Board member and collaborator Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy to lens a 35-video series that documents a wide range of artists, activists, organizers, and advocates chiming in on what equality means to them. The films will be available to stream on Gucci’s social channels and official YouTube account. Beyoncé’s song “Freedom,” from her pioneering visual album Lemonade, scores the videos.
