David Wojnarowicz died on this day in 1992 at the age 37 years old. This is the third collaboration with the David Wojnarowicz Foundation, inspired by his painting "F You F F ". As a q***r person who came out in 1985, and followed his work and writing, I am forever grateful for the work of all the activists who fought for our rights, that I'm still here, and thrilled beyond belief to be working with the foundation to help ensure his body of work is not forgotten.

A percentage of proceeds is donated to the Wojnarowicz Foundation for their ongoing work preserving the artist’s legacy.

Caught this post of John Lewis's quote on the IG scroll from : "At Yesterday’s GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON rally and march to 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE continues to torment our neighbors." It was the inspiration for our "GOOD TROUBLE" collection.
