Trouble Sleep Yanga Wake Am
Inspired by Fela's "Trouble Sleep Yanga Wake Am" recorded in Lagos, Nigeria in 1972. Designed in August 2020 in Toronto, Ontario.
I sat on this project for a while after designing it but on Fela's birthday, amidst mass #EndSARS protests on the streets of Lagos and across the country against the rampant murder and abuse of the Nigerian Special Anti-Robbery Squad, I decided that there was a little something I could do to help.
Violence on the streets of Lagos may be out of the news cycle, many of the organizations have stopped fund-raising, but that doesn’t mean that the conditions that created the crisis are over — the release of this shirt comes with it a commitment to send 100% of the money received to benefit the people of Nigeria.
100% of proceeds go to Mirabel Centre and Serap Nigeria.
Sold out,
sorta.
I've got a few Smalls and Extra Larges left but I've taken the online store down until my next project goes up. If you would like one of these, just holler.
Say hello.
I am currently living and working in Toronto as a Creative Director for Huge. I'm always open to riding new waves so if you've got something in mind, let's get pitted. So pitted.
