INFINITE ARCHIVES
1991- The world witnessed Rodney King violently beaten by the LAPD. Halfway around the globe in Japan, music producer, writer, FRAGMENT DESIGN owner and fashion designer Hiroshi Fujiwara watched the incident unfold. In response to the police brutality & discrimination he witnessed, Hiroshi decided to release a special edition t-shirt, featuring his now iconic END RACISM design for GOODENOUGH.
Later, the design was revived by Atsuyo Kitano and he reissued the END RACISM design in response to the unjust killings of Kimani Gray, and Michael Brown by police officers. The shirt was not only a symbol of solidarity, but a reminder that we must end the cycle of systematic racism and police brutality once and for all. GOODENOUGH concluded as a brand officially in 2017.
As a society we’ve had to relive the same narrative of inequality and abuse of power time and time again. Infinite Archives will be releasing its own version of the End Racism t-shirt in grey, on Friday August 7th, available to order at Saint Alfred with proceeds going to Theaster Gates' Rebuild Foundation- culture based, artist-led, neighborhood-driven community revitalization program located in Chicago.
This is a Worldwide problem, we thank all our friends & family all around the world for supporting this project. Together we will break this cycle.
Black Lives Matter.
