‘A People’s Art is the’ — Claudia Jones Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“A people’s art is the genesis of their freedom.” Claudia Jones coined this as the slogan for the first Notting Hill Carnival in 1959 — she organized it after London’s race riots to give a battered Caribbean community a place to be joyful and visible together. She built the proof into the event itself: culture comes first, the shared celebration that lets a people feel like a people, which is the ground their freedom grows from.

**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).
