"I want to show how diverse this group of people is. How creative and how much new art forms K-Pop inspires - video art, fashion, dances - how much of inspiration it gives to people and how much of a positive influence it has on the lives of those who love this art form."

For photographer Katya Ilina, documenting K-Pop fandom means looking beyond the music itself - towards the creativity, friendships, fashion, dance and communities that have grown around it.

Captured through a q***r lens, her work explores the many different ways people connect through this global culture.

Listen to this badge 📌

From music and politics to humour and identity, pin badges have been a powerful part of subcultures for decades. Worn on jackets, bags and backpacks, these tiny symbols can say a lot about who we are, what we believe in and where we belong.

Our collection of badges is currently on display in Listen To This Badge, an exhibition celebrating the stories, movements and communities behind these small but mighty objects.
