Anne Kaerst

Anne Kaerst is a cultural innovator and the founder and editor-in-chief of The Art of Seeing magazine. She launched the publication in 2023 with a clear mission: to bring greater transparency to the art world. This new magazine does something radical — it tells the truth. Within its pages, readers find a carefully curated selection of artists across disciplines (music, literature, fashion, film, art, and design) who are brave enough to share not just their work, but their entire journey: the highs and lows, the hardship, the rejection, the doubt, the moments they almost quit. Because success isn’t the real story — the struggle behind it is. Before dedicating herself to supporting artists, Anne graduated from ESCP Business School and built her creative career in London. For over a decade, she worked in advertising, helping Google, Nike, TikTok, LVMH, Unilever, and other iconic brands cut through the noise and connect with their audiences.

Chefket

Şevket Dirican, known professionally as Chefket, is a German artist of Turkish descent. Born in a small town, Chefket moved to Berlin to explore whether a career in the arts was his true calling. Arriving with just €200 in his pocket, he initially worked as a bartender to make ends meet. And he did make it work: In 2015, after signing with Universal, Chefket's breakthrough came with his Top-Ten album Nachtmensch. It's been a stellar career for him since. With his sharp social commentary and his memorable, unique sound Chefket is redefining Hip-Hop culture.
