‘We Have to Create an’ — Elizabeth Catlett Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“We have to create an art for liberation and for life.” The conviction runs through Elizabeth Catlett’s 1975 essay in The Black Scholar, and through the choices of her whole career: she worked in Mexico City’s Taller de Gráfica Popular and made prints because a print multiplies, reaching sharecroppers and schoolchildren instead of collectors. Liberation was the assignment she gave her materials — art built to be used, and to travel to the people it was made for.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
