BLACK SHEEP COLLECTIVE is the result of fearless creators who inspire through the true embodiment of creative resilience in their art. Each year, we explore the evolving self, shaping continuous global conversations on identity and self-belonging, and nourishing a sanctuary for bold, experimental imagination.

OUR MANIFESTO

BLACK SHEEP is not just a movement, it’s about driving a culture of creative reclamation.

A commitment to authenticity over imitation, celebrating individuality over conformity, and most importantly choosing self-expression over compromise.

We chose to make art, craft identities, and create expression out of the experiences that shape us all, because it’s not the stigma we fear, it’s the silence that comes from hiding it.

We never seek shortcuts. Always doing the hard work to get it right, as aesthetics are equally important to what’s beneath the surface.

Where others see chaos, we see clarity.

Where others see challenges, we see creativity.

Where others see limits, we see beginnings.

We believe in a limitless world, rich with possibility and it is only when we explore it with an open mind do we evolve and master the art of our own belonging.

Experimenting in the chase for perfection, whilst resisting the rush to arrive.

Only through transformation and the versatility of how we approach this, can we connect with our inner truth and in that becoming find our purpose and where we discover our greatest strengths.
