Seven Black-owned Amsterdam brands, Daily Paper, Filling Pieces, Olaf
Hussein, Patta, Smib, The New Originals and Hosselaer, have united to take
a stand against racism with a charity T-shirt.
The ‘In Unity, There Is Strength’ T-shirt features artwork made by
Amsterdam-based artist Farida Sedoc called No Justice No Peace. The
Amsterdam artist was commissioned by Stedelijk Museum to design a poster in
dialogue with the Black Lives Matter demonstrations that will be displayed
in various places throughout the museum.
The made-to-order T-shirt is made from 100 percent cotton and is
available for pre-order now at 50 euros.
100 percent of the proceeds from the ‘In Unity, There Is Strength’
T-shirt will be donated to Kick Out Zwarte Piet, The Black Archives, and
Black Queer and Trans Resistance NL, organisations responsible for creating
awareness and organising multiple protests against white supremacy,
transphobia, and racism in the Netherlands.
The collaboration the brands explain was them seizing the moment to
“stand on the shoulders of all Black and brown people who have spoken up
about (Dutch) racism before” in the wake of the police brutality against
Black people in the US, as they look to cut-out systemic institutional
racism by raising awareness and vital funds for the Black Lives Matter
movement.
The Black Lives Matter charity T-shirt is in black and white in sizes XS
to XXL.
