Silence Equals Death Kids T-Shirts

Act Up

A reflection of the utterly stupid and racist justification that wearing a hoody means up to no good and is the basis for murdering black men and children without consequence. Pretend a hoody is a rorschach - whatever you see in it, is reflecting what you actually are.

Need a little death tarot? We got you

Looks familiar but you can't place it right.....

SED NJHC in yellow!

When death comes for you.... SED will be there

I made this when reading up on the history of the Black Panther Party and how it was targeted and destroyed by the FBI & Cointel Pro. All the propaganda about the violence or radicalism of the party when they were giving breakfasts, educational materials, uplifting and protecting their communities.

A never ending, always relevant protest reel.

Freedom feat. two trail blazing women: Shirley Chisholm, the first black female Congresswoman & the first black candidate for a major-party nomination for President of the United States, and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party's nomination. Also featuring Madame CJ Walker, the first black female millionaire: Born in 19th century rural Louisiana to former slaves, Sarah Breedlove rose to become the first female African-American self-made millionaire in the United States. Known as Madam C.J. Walker, she developed a line of beauty care products for black women.

A visualization of who actually built the house and the hidden unpaid labour that built our country. There would be no capitalist economy without the labor of enslaved people on cotton plantations, funnelling money North and abroad. There would be no capitalist economy without the enslaved labor or indentured labor on tea plantations, cotton plantations, sugar cane fields.

I made this collage because black lives matter, all day, every goddamn day.

An early work but no less beloved, about what it feels like trying to carve out equal rights while others work hard to claw each gain back and tell us it's too soon, just wait, do it peacefully, don't make a fuss, play in respectability politics. All bullshit, set to Nina Simone's classic protest song, Mississippi Goddamn.

I made this work years ago in response to all the grief, rage, endless trauma that became centre stage with the BLM movement. Seeing brown and black bodies being constantly brutalized for no reason, with no accountability, is too much to take.

Giggle and snort and cackle and howl and chuckle and huff and puff and grin and blow the house down.

A beautiful portrait.

Queens and Freedom feat. Miss Shirley Chisolm and Madame C.J. Walker. If you haven't heard of them, look them up.

What kills you: a hoody, a skin tone, The hate U give Little Infants Fucks Everyone.

This is an art piece made in response to the continuing escalation and erosion of womens and civil rights.

Politics are dumb, Hardcore is cool!

Just what it says. War declared yet again on women, and plagues upon any houses that support women having less agency than an animal.

A rumination about the classic 3/5s rules & one drop rule in the US.. and its absurdity. After all, if one drop makes you indigenous and or black or any other non white ethnic drop while simultaneously, having unexpected obscene wealth can make you legally white when you're black... it really shows how all of these rules for subjugation are utterly stupid, infantile and require mass violence to enforce.

For Pride. For life. For love.

How they see us. I read a while ago how the FBI has been specifically spying and targeting black folks of influence since it's inception - MLK (who they tried to blackmail into committing suicide), dossiers on rappers, murdering and breaking up the Black Panthers - the list is endless.

Another collage made in the rage, despair and determination around maintaining reproductive rights.

What it feels like to decolonize my mind. Such deep parasitic roots to pull out.
