This Saturday, October 2nd is the 7th annual, Crafty Bastards Arts & Crafts Fair. It’s is an exhibition and sale of handmade alternative arts and crafts from independent artists presented by the Washington City Paper. The fair is all-day, outdoors, free to attend, and will offer goods for sale, food, entertainment, and prizes.
Unfortunately, we missed the boat to exhibit this year. But we’ll definitely be there checking out all the awesome handmade goodness. We hope to see you there.
They say mo’ money, mo’ problems. But if you’ve been living on the African continent over the past 200 years, you’d gladly accept the tradeoff. After European imperialism effectively wiped out the economic and political potential for generations of Africans, the continent has struggled with one crisis after another. Human trafficking, HIV/AIDS, war, dictatorships, famine, illiteracy. These are only some of the gifts left behind by colonizing nations hungry for resources at any expense. And today, as the Industrialized world continues to take a metaphorical dump on Africa, internal strife threatens to leave its people behind for another 200 years. This graphic tshirt from Softcore Laundry is our way of saying that Africa deserves to be free. Free from thugs. Free from disease. From Lagos to Nairobi, Khartoum to Kinshasa. Free Africa.
