This is the shirt to wear if you have been raised by refugees. Raised by the resilience, love, grit and promise of parents or carers who had to leave their known for the unknown. And, with it, had to adapt to new culture, language, food and life. This is the shirt to wear if you are proud of your refugee heritage or being part of a migrant story. This is a thank you to our refugee raisers; a visual paean to the ones that whispered dreams in mother tongues, the ones that sang us lullabies; song stories of home, the ones that fed us rice, sauces, foods from lands they had to leave. This shirt is a statement about how refugee mothers, fathers, siblings, aunties, uncles and carers have raised us up - some with little to no resources - relying on stories, love and heart. This is a thank you to the refugees who raised us and made us, us.

The inspiration from this design comes from my grandmother who crossed the Mekong river to bring her family, including my mom, to safety. The Secret War in Laos brought death and destruction to their hometown so they fled to Thailand to seek refuge. Months later, they were all flown to the US and arrived in 1976.

When European explorers 'discovered' lands on the other continents, there were already people living there. All too often the explorers took the land away from the native or indigenous peoples and either killed them or suppressed them. In many cases, the native languages and cultures were suppressed and the natives were forced to adopt Western ways. Unfortunately, this isn't just a thing of the past -- many Indigenous Peoples and their cultures are still threatened today.

We decided to use the Māori flag in our design as the colours represent what Self Sovereignty stands for.

Black represents Te Korekore the realm of Potential Being. It represents the long darkness from where the world emerged. It represents the heavens, the male element us formless, floating and passive.

White represents Te Ao Marama, the realm of Being and Light. It is the Physical World. White symbolises purity, harmony, enlightenment, balance and air rising.\

The Koru, curling frond shape, represents the unfolding of new life, that everything is reborn and continues. It promises renewal and hope for the future.

Red represents Te Whei Ao, the realm of Coming into Being. It symbolises female, active, flashing, south, yelling, emergence, forests, land, gestation and spirals. Red is Papatuanuku, Earth Mother, the sustainer of all living things. Red is the colour of earth from which the first human was made.

The design represents the balance of natural forces with each other. To live life is to live with nature. To appreciate life is to understand nature.

The negative connotations surrounding the word 'protest' don't fit with our kaupapa/mission. We are not protesters, we are protectors. We want to protect the water, the earth, human kind and our environment. We want to protect languages, cultures and mana. We want to protect ancestral knowledge and we want to protect our future generations.

When we decolonise we start with a colonised environment or space and attempt to revert it back to its Indigenous scaffold. However, what if we did more. What if we flooded colonised spaces with Indigenous knowledge. Or better still, what if the blueprint itself was indigenised. Think of it this way, by the time we have to 'DEcolonise' something, it's too late. By the time you have to DEtonate a bomb, it's too late. Let's instead work to indigenise our thoughts, our spaces and our work. The concept of decolonising relays on centring of the colonist; it centres colonisation. It's even in the word 'deCOLONISE'. However, 'Indigenise' centres the Indigenous Peoples and their kaupapa. 'Indigenise' is about creating, not subtracting. That's where we're heading.

Inspired by the Los Angeles Dodgers logo, we chose this design to represent the displaced Mexican-American Community who lived in Chavez Ravine before it became Dodger Stadium.

During the early 1950s, the city of Los Angeles forcefully evicted the 300 families of Chavez Ravine to make way for a low-income public housing project. The land was cleared and the homes, schools and the church were razed. But instead of building the promised housing, the city—in a move rife with political controversy—sold the land to Brooklyn Dodgers baseball owner Walter O’Malley, who built Dodger Stadium on the site.

The residents of Chavez Ravine, who had been promised first pick of the apartments in the proposed housing project, were given no reimbursement for their destroyed property and forced to scramble for housing elsewhere.
