I designed this limited-edition bandana for Artists Band Together – a campaign to symbolize the importance of democratic values. Swipe through to see four different ways you can wear my design! You can check out my work and the 14 others by a group of world-renowned artists: Jenny Holzer, Victoria Cassinova, Juliana Huxtable, Alex Israel, Merritt Johnson, Christine Sun Kim, Barbara Kruger, Marilyn Minter, Christina Quarles, Umar Rashid, Xavier Schipani, Ririkrit Tiravanija, Luchita Hurtado, and Hank Willis Thomas, available now through Ebay for Charity here. 100% of proceeds will go to voter-registration organizations Rise, Mijente & Woke Vote!
I believe in the Artists Band Together project because I think we all can make the country better, and that art and the humanitarian spirit of artists can play a valuable role in doing so. This project embraces the principles of democracy, by making art accessible through the bandanas while also providing support to the grassroots voting initiatives from the organizations benefitting from the profits – Rise, Mijente, and Woke Vote. The caliber of artists involved is inspiring, and I believe in the story behind each work of art. I think that everyone from collectors to activists will be embracing these as collectable symbols of democracy at this historic moment. Thanks for caring!
