Us Antarctica Kids T-Shirts

inspired by the thing

Inspired by the fictional US Outpost 31. An Antarctica Research Program Center from the classic 1982 movie.

There is 1 imposter among us...

It can be any one of us....

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.

Thule Station was a Norwegian Antarctic geological research center which first appears in the 1982 film The Thing. The facility was subsequently featured in the 2011 prequel of the same name, where it serves as the primary setting of the film. It also appears in the 2002 video-game. The station is operated by Norway and is typically manned by a crew of ten men (excluding visiting researchers).

I made this work, titled 'The Rot Beneath the Gown,' as a representation of the costs involved in consumerism, fashion and consumption - the human costs, slave labour, historical exploitation, imperialism and death that persists to this day to feed the colonial need for hoarding resources, beauty and clothing to express class.

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 portrait of a man, a love letter.

I made this when Black athletes were being disqualified unfairly at the Olympics or being threatened with disqualification simply because their natural hormone levels "gave them an unfair advantage". Just let them be great.

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.

A little Maleficent, re-imagined

A beautiful portrait.

I made this as a means of getting intense and angry feelings out, about the multiple genocides happening in the world right now, the intense gaslighting that things are fine and justifiable and the push to just consume as usual. Please don't.

In the wake of white women weaponizing the police against black people and other POC and continuing police brutality and murders, I made this. It really is true that my constitution isn't your constitution.

In response to Cop City, police brutality, qualified immunity, BLM and the face that law enforcement 1) protects property not people, 2) was born of slave catchers and 3) have been successfully infiltrated by white supremacists that they have been recruiting from within since 2006 from FBI reports (along with other law enforcement agencies). Abolish.

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.

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

The text explains it all.

What it says. An absurdity that 400 years later, we're still fighting for a living wage.

Fashion and time and progress

Wellps. As it says: ACAB and we need prison abolition, bail abolition, mutual aid and community care.

True fans will know this reference.

Representation matters :)

I made this as an absurd reflection of myself making art feat. Banksy. I feel like I make art because I'm enraged at the alarmingly fast global disintegration of my human rights and I can't go out and murder people and get away with it so I make art.

U.S. Outpost #31 is a U.S. Antarctic research center which first appears in the 1982 film The Thing and is subsequently featured in the 2002 video-game of the same name and two Dark Horse comic-books - The Thing from Another World and The Thing from Another World: Questionable Research. The station is operated by the United States and is manned by a crew of twelve men.

I made this as part of a series on womanhood, and this is the flip side: Men and violent entitlement. This in me getting out complicated feelings around the decaying of women's humans rights that we're seeing in real time, in the US & globally and the rot of patriarchy unquestioned that drives it. Rather than demoralize, I let this radicalize me.

An analog collage about why critical race theory is so important and the scourge of white supremacy masquerading as love of nation.

Like the sign says... let this radicalize you instead of lead you to despair.
