I\u2019m the founder and creative director of an ongoing research project, club [construction], which investigates the fragile histories of Irish queer club culture, club spaces and club communities of the past, present and speculative futures, within wider European and international contexts, through experimental exhibition-making, participation and site-based inquiry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe project has manifested locally, nationally and internationally, including several notable solo exhibitions and curatorial projects in Belfast, Dublin and London. Recent solo exhibitions include <em>\u20acURODANC\u20ac<\/em> at Pallas Projects\/Studios in Dublin, and <em>White Knuckle Foreve<\/em>r at The Backshop, Culterim Gallery in Berlin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cMy upcoming solo exhibition, <em>DANSTOPIA<\/em>! at PS\u00b2 Project Space in Belfast is the next iteration of club [construction].

It explores how architectural, social and affective structures intersect in the production of identity and belonging, and how these same forces can shift to reveal deeper dynamics of power embedded in contemporary culture. It suggests that cultural spaces are defined as much by what holds us outside, through moments of hesitation and withholding, as by what draws us in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>DANSTOPIA! <em>opens November 6, 2025 from 6pm until late, at PS\u00b2 Project Space (11 Rosemary St, Belfast; N.Ireland), and continues until November 13, 2025.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<h1>HANNAH-MIA HINDS<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dazed-gallery has-16-images\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<header>\n<div class=\"info\"><span class=\"heading\">Hannah-Mia Hinds Spotlight<\/span><span class=\"count\">16 Images<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/art-photography\/gallery\/36263\/0\/hannah-mia-hinds-spotlight\" class=\"more-button\">view more +<\/a><\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"gallery-thumbs\">\n<div class=\"gallery-thumb \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/art-photography\/gallery\/36263\/0\/hannah-mia-hinds-spotlight\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Credit_ Hannah-Mia Hinds\" class=\"img\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1430145.jpg\" width=\"3000\" title=\"1430145\"><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-thumb \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/art-photography\/gallery\/36263\/1\/hannah-mia-hinds-spotlight\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Credit_ Hannah-Mia Hinds\" class=\"img\" height=\"1862\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1430146.jpg\" width=\"2793\" title=\"1430146\"><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-thumb hidden-phone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/art-photography\/gallery\/36263\/2\/hannah-mia-hinds-spotlight\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Credit_ Hannah-Mia Hinds(1)\" class=\"img\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1430147.jpg\" width=\"2000\" title=\"1430147\"><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-thumb hidden-phone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/art-photography\/gallery\/36263\/3\/hannah-mia-hinds-spotlight\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Credit_ Hannah-Mia Hinds(2)\" class=\"img\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1430148.jpg\" width=\"3000\" title=\"1430148\"><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-thumb hidden-phone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/art-photography\/gallery\/36263\/4\/hannah-mia-hinds-spotlight\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Credit_ Hannah-Mia Hinds(3)\" class=\"img\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1430149.jpg\" width=\"3000\" title=\"1430149\"><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-thumb hidden-phone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/art-photography\/gallery\/36263\/5\/hannah-mia-hinds-spotlight\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Credit_ Hannah-Mia Hinds(4)\" class=\"img\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1430150.jpg\" width=\"3000\" title=\"1430150\"><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span><strong>Hannah-Mia Hinds:<\/strong> \u201cEverything about my life is a product of refusing to wait for permission. As a Brooklyn-born photographer and creative director, my practice is dependent on creating the spaces I take up. <\/span><span>I grew up as the designated photographer friend. In high school, I spent hours in SoHo loitering outside VFiles and taking pictures for Instagram. The curation of my feed brought opportunities in fashion, and by 18, I\u2019d built enough confidence to take my concepts offline. I didn\u2019t have many collaborators then, so I wore each hat myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c<em>Miss Mia<\/em> follows the fictional star, played by myself, and her obsessive fans who consume every product tied to her image: perfumes, posters, CDs, beverages, and rolling papers. Three friends take their admiration too far, transforming into Miss Mia. <\/span><span>Each Miss Mia product is an object you can consume: see, smoke, smell, or taste. The handmade rolling papers are inspired by 3:00am conversations in smoking areas; everyone needs a Rizla. I wanted my products to be useful. Now my friends carry a piece of me with them. Special thanks to 9MAGICFOREVER1 \u2013 a crazy good Chicago-born house and jungle producer who created Miss Mia\u2019s original soundtrack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m inspired by the people I meet in the cities I find myself in. In London and Brooklyn, I constantly create with the artists I\u2019m fortunate enough to call friends. As a creative director, I tailor concepts that platform all our talents. <\/span><span>I found soul-tied collaborators in east London. I moved last year, determined to hone my artistic process, so I made a point of going everywhere alone. Raves, gallery openings, and concerts \u2013 even sneaking into fashion week by myself \u2013 made me the most authentic connections. <\/span><span>In terms of next steps, I\u2019m moving to LA for a bit in January and I\u2019m becoming a Dazed Club Curator!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<h1>JONAS ALEXANDER<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"22a6ccc3-9de0-4d79-9275-b38b010254aa\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1535\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/0\/1430144.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.71\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_2652 (1)\" class=\"img\" height=\"2149\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1430144.jpg\" width=\"1535\" title=\"1430144\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Jonas Alexander<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-soundcloudtrack\" data-id=\"1923256091\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-soundcloudtrack\" data-id=\"1781797845\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-soundcloudtrack\" data-id=\"1989426035\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span><strong>Jonas Alexander:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of film and music. My work explores questions of identity, particularly race, sexuality, and multiculturalism, and often exists at the crossroads between these two media. <\/span><span>Percussion and basslines are at the core of most of the music I play. The genres I gravitate toward, such as footwork, bounce, and rap, are all rooted in Afro-American culture, which is my heritage. Beyond sound, I\u2019m drawn to the layered nature of identity and sexuality. That\u2019s why I like to blend unexpected genres and create spaces that embrace freedom, complexity, and self-expression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c1-800-BOOTY is a series of events I co-host and curate with Parisian DJ and beatmaker TSIP. We connected after I reached out for a collab mix \u2013 I was drawn to the musicality of her former group, Jantes. Despite our different backgrounds, we vibed to the same sounds and imagined a world of ground-shaking, bass-heavy beats, where audiences could fully be themselves. 1-800-BOOTY became that space: a celebration of freedom, inclusivity, and underrecognized artists creating their own lanes. <\/span><span>I seem to consistently go back to sounds that soundtracked my youth. In my teen years, I was obsessed with mixtape Nicki (Minaj), TNGHT, DJ Assault, Big Freedia, DJ Lilman &amp; Ms Porsh, Baltimore Club Music. These traces have remained in my work; I frequently still play these sounds and have stuck to high-energy beats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI would say my creative scene is somewhat global; it can be found anywhere Black electronic music is. I\u2019ve been lucky enough to travel to many parts of the world, and have always found a way to connect with people I love and admire through Instagram. We see each other. Thanks to the internet, we are more connected than ever. <\/span><span>I\u2019m currently finishing up the edit of a video I shot for Ms Boogie. Also, I just released a video clip for ZEPKIN$. With 1-800-BOOTY, we are working on many different collaborations in various cities.

Our galleries and art centres continue to shut their doors, funding is drying up, and for a while, the only cinema in the city disappeared. But still, creativity always seems to somehow find a way, doesn\u2019t it? It sparks in back alleys, hums in forgotten basements, and bursts from the small, overlooked corners of the towns that everyone else forgets about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThat\u2019s how Gone Norf started \u2014 with a group of mates, all from small Northern towns, grafting our arses off to build careers in the creative industries. From this, <em>NORF<\/em>, our print, was born to showcase our peers and the emerging talent from around the region. It\u2019s for all the small-town creatives, hustling to make it in the industrial towns in the north of England despite the odds. With the north\u2019s creative industries making up just 15 per cent of the UK\u2019s total creative employment, more platforms like ours are vital to champion talent and voices that too often go unseen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;On 17 October this year, it all came together. UNITOM hosted our print launch. Friends, strangers, curious passersby \u2013 everyone was there. Copies of<em> NORF <\/em>were clutched like treasures, free beers supplied by Jubel disappearing fast, and the room was alive with conversation, pride, and connection. One attendee said, \u2018It\u2019s rare to feel like the North actually has a magazine that talks about us, for smaller industrial towns, not just Manchester, Newcastle, or Leeds.\u2019 Hearing that hit hard, just knowing that all of the work is worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLater, the afterparty took over PUBLIC just 30 seconds down the road \u2013 a low-lit space pulsing with post-festival energy. DJs from Lincoln, Hull, and Bolton mixed house and disco while local documentary company \u2013 Northern Heart Films came down to capture it all. Soon our work will reach an even bigger stage through Foot Locker\u2019s Christmas 2025 campaign, in which Gone Norf was chosen to represent the north of England alongside two other young creative collectives from Paris and Milan!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><em>For your chance to get featured in our monthly Dazed Club Spotlight series, share your work or recent projects in the Dazed Club app (<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/dazed-club\/id6463440577\">iOS<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.dazeddigital.live.android&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;pli=1\">Android<\/a>).
