Dead White Mens Clothes

DEAD WHITE MENS CLOTHES™ is a project by Ghanaian artist Jojo Gronostay and Amsterdam Berlin. The origins of the name lie in the Ghanaian term “obroni wawu“, which translates directly to “dress of the dead white man”. A description the locals came up with when the first wave of second-hand clothes from the West swept into their country in the 70’s. They could not believe that clothing of such quality was just given away. Instead they assumed that the previous owners must have died.

A frightening observation that gave rise to the DWMC™ project - a label set out to provoke a discourse on capitalism, post-colonialism, identity and fashion.

Art in Ad Places is a public service, a campaign replacing outdoor advertising with artwork. We partner with artists to install their work in payphones across New York City. We began in 2017, installing new artwork every week for a year.

WE BELIEVE...

Outdoor advertising is visual pollution. Outdoor advertising can be psychologically damaging. Outdoor advertising is pushed on viewers without their consent. Outdoor advertising marks underutilized venues for other messages. By replacing advertisements with artwork, Art in Ad Places provides a public service and alternative vision of our public environment.

In Conversation with Hurts

As if April wasn’t the month of major music comeback enough, Hurts surprised us with a glorious glimpse of the first new music since 2015 with their LGBT-centric Beautiful Ones…

“I just wanted to show at the end, that things can end positively. It ends showing the positive side of the story. In the video, I wanted to show that people struggle for their individuality, but some people just don’t care, just go for it and be themselves. They’re stronger than what a lot of people think”.

Typeface released to honour LGBT activist, artist and rainbow flag creator Gilbert Baker

NYC Pride and NewFest have worked with Ogilvy & Mather’s design team and foundry Fontself to create a "typeface":https://www.typewithpride.com/ inspired by the artist and LGBT activist Gilbert Baker, who recently passed away aged 66. Gilbert was known as creator of the rainbow flag in 1978, as well as many protest banners over his life, so the typeface both emulates his work and allows it to be continued through its application to posters.

Type with pride! YES YES YES!!!!!!
