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

“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.
