Dissent via T-Shirt

One of our personal favorites, this shirt says it all! Stick it to "the man" by publicly displaying your dissatisfaction with the system. Go out of your way to grind against the grain of society. Engage in critical subversive activity with your polis t-shirt!

This is the most limited of the polis collection. We believe it would add a nice touch when your face appears on TV after you get arrested for participating in that big protest you have been planning.

 

We(ar) the seeds of Change

No, this isnt another save the rainforest shirt! Our areas of operation often take the form of the grid. We have grown to be dependant on it for a number of luxuries in our lives. Are these really necessary? This shirt examines this relationship.

A tree symbolizes growth. Our aim is to grow beyond the grid and break the structures that are preventing us from realizing our autonomous nature. Our public space is being taken over by corporate advertising, surveillance, censorship, and increased police security. It's about time we take back what is rightfully ours!

People tend to pick up mottos, have 'philosophies'. They relate to an environment they think they chose, but the very choice of that environment is influenced by an ensemble of peculiar social determinations. They pick up codes that filter reality, and that forge their identity in relation to the rest of the world. They build up communities, and then they start a war. Rituals, from idiosyncrasy to populism, is what shape discourse. Reading and being read is what drive speeches around.
