Awwa, meeting place

Awwa is inspired by indigenous word Canary awara, gentile of old inhabitant of the island of La Palma. I have always felt that the ancient Berbers left a legacy and *a message of respect for life and nature * that we are just beginning to discover.

Awwa Art, like art project, has always wanted to mean the matrix , the meeting place, the place of love the place to generate the magic of creation based on creative respect and solidarity.

My idea has always been to create a space where creative people, graphic designers mainly and illustrators we can meet each others, and we can create and produce graphic design related objects.

I have been inviting designers to our small community and I have edited some of his graphic works within the brand. Despite the difficulties, our community has been slowly growing up until now, being currently formed by 20 partners with which have been published around 10 tshirts.

ethical shirts for people

In the last call for graphic design for shirts that we organized, we set out to make ethical designs, where messages would show a real commitment to society. They enrolled in the call 13 collaborators and presented 11 designs for tshirt co-created between a writer and a graphic designer. Our goal for this campaign is to raise funds to publish a minimum of 50 units 10 designs related to this call and thus make visible the work of more than 10 creators.

Some work we have done and want to edit, you can see below:

About the t-shirts

This collection plans to produce tshirts with the Spanish brand Roly, which respects quality standards, manufacturing and a half enforceable minimum environment for us. Our intention is to produce in the future our own patterns of shirts, goal we hope to achieve in future collections.

All tshirts we use for production are 100% cotton ones, between 160 and 180 grams / m2. Plastisol inks and try to avoid printing all with water-based inks and ink etchant (which leaves no relief) environmentally friendly, always betting on the local product highest quality.

All designs will be published in a male standard pattern, simple design, and some of them will edit in a specific design for women. At the bottom of each design is specified the type of pattern and color variant including each design.

What we do with your funding
