Octavia Butler
“𝒜𝓁𝓁 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝑜𝓊𝒸𝒽, 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒. 𝒜𝓁𝓁 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒, 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓈 𝓎𝑜𝓊.” — Octavia Butler, Parable of the Sower
In light of the current darkness, can we dare to dream of a better world?
Octavia Butler was an emblem of futurism and a pioneer in speculative fiction. She expanded the boundaries of our imagination and her words remain a call to action, reverberating truer than ever against the effects of the climate crisis, displacement, and white supremacy.
Earlier this year, Altadena was affected by the Eaton fires. Over 9000 structures were destroyed, including the majority of homes and buildings located in historically Black families that had lived there for decades.
How can beautiful things, even what we wear, have more intention behind them? How can we be in a more cyclical dialogue between maker and consumer? These are all questions we are asking ourselves.
We have collectively been witnessing a number of genocides, sustained and fueled by western imperialism and capitalism. 100% of the proceeds of this shirt will be going to families in Octavia Butler’s home community: Suzan’s Family & Paula Kimberling.
