These T-shirt art objects are screen printed with the familiar laundry care symbol for “Do Not Bleach” on the chest using discharge paste, a fabric safe bleaching agent. By collecting and wearing one of these shirts, people of color advocate for their melanin by wearing the shirt and in turn take a step toward resisting the inferiority of brown skin, no matter the shade. More than a shirt, they become a message against colorism and an opportunity to resist the whitewashing of cultures and ethnic histories.
Do Not Bleach T-Shirt Generation 1 has a mid-weight iron-on brand logo patch in the bottom left corner of the shirt. The shirt is 100% cotton and fits snug to size. If you like your shirts loose, it is suggested to go up a size.
