Wear Many Hats Episode 44— Ché Nembhard — Clips Co-Op

Hey everyone it’s Rashad and this is Wear Many Hats presented by Dahsar where we talk about your main gig then we talk about your side hustle.

Ché Nembhard is a “aspiring polymath of visual media” and the co-founder of CLIPS Co-op. CLIPS develops original content + provides platforms to showcase other creators such as Lichen NYC, Public Records, and Fragile Glass.

Clips has put out short films for Fact and Nowness. Recently produced the Sacai collaboration for my previous boss Hank Willis Thomas for his collaboration with Sacai.

When I think of Clips I think of smooth short films soothly watching while burning a Fragile Glass candle.

Clips. Build Platforms. Build Bridges.
