Read Issue 17 Here
Where some shifts are gradual, the ones being advocated for now seem pertinent to existence. Who we are is no longer a categorical assignment but a statement of continuity into a new era. In this issue of CopyWrite Magazine, we pay homage to our past state of being [including vaulted interviews from before the pandemic & social uprising] but heavily focus on the culture, community, creativity that are currently taking form.
w/ April Walker, Eric “Shake” James, Mario Hamilton, Dahyembi Neal, The Trauma Trials, and Discrimination Behind the Scenes .

“LET ME GET UHHH COVID TEST & A LARGE COKE.” - is just one of the culturally triggered lines in the verbiage and design for #TestUpMKE [ a creative campaign], that you have seen circulating. The original art created by MKE notable artist Vedale Hill, was created and curated to capture the “urban” community of MKE which includes Black & Brown people and the systemically disenfranchised.
The designs play on the identity and cultural cues that are imbedded into our everyday lives and our nostalgia. Whether that be the 90’s Solo cup colorway, the gas station/take out food “Thank You” bag or the gold ornamented grill of a Black Male icon. It’s there. It’s for us. It’s by US [no FUBU tho.]
As COVID-19 continues to dominate our lives we want to make sure that the knowledge that can help save our community is communicated through methods we already respect & dabble in: ART, FASHION, COMMUNITY & CULTURE.

Pandemic Pending...
Covid-19 testing is a must to stop the spread. Check out this [creative campaign] for Test Up MKE, a Covid-19 testing, information, and support platform based in Milwaukee, WI.
https://www.testupmke.com/
Using creative means to get the word out to the URBAN, authentic, "minority" and creative community, we partnered in a collaboration that involved local artists, graphic designers, screen printers, photographers, models, journalists and health partners. [We used Covid-19 safety methods, because we are trying to liveeeeeeeee B!]
This campaign features t-shirt designs that include verbiage and imagery that not only reaffirms the importance of Covid-19 testing, but also pays homage to cultural cues, lifestyle and satire. With a graphic tee, a poppin' mask and of course a fresh pair of kicks, we can make being #SociallyResponsible fly!
Spread knowledge. Spread creativity. Stop the spread of Covid-19 by getting tested.
