James Baldwin | Unisex Eco-friendly Hoodie

A drawing by artist Camille Laforcenée

This United Souls hoodie pays tribute to James Baldwin through a creation by Camille Laforcenée, accompanied by a phrase chosen by United Souls: "I have to make conscious of the things you don't see." The combination of the drawing and the words invites us to become aware of what escapes our gaze, in the spirit of the artist's role.

Worn over a t-shirt or with jeans, this artist hoodie is perfect for chilly days. Its material, a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester, offers everyday comfort, while the design brings Baldwin's thoughts to life beyond his books.

A creation by Camille Laforcenée

An architect by training, Camille Laforcenée chose to dedicate herself to her art. As a draftswoman, engraver, and screen printer, she seeks to create textures, depth, and meaning, while maintaining a technical rigor that fuels her process. Her practice combines drawings, fanzines, and prints, ranging from screen printing to copperplate engraving, tetrapak printing, and linocut.

She taught traditional screen printing for three years at the 54fils workshop in Toulouse. Her drawings have illustrated covers for BLAST editions, which published her work on self-portraits in Telle Quelle in October 2022. A member of the Atelier de la Main Gauche since 2021, she has been teaching there in weekly workshops since 2023.

I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO

JAMES BALDWIN (1924-1987) - UNITED STATES

An American writer and essayist, James Baldwin explored racism, identity, love, and the tensions within American society. Having moved to France in 1948, he returned to the United States to join the civil rights movement. Through his books and speeches, he invites us to face injustices head-on and to question the narratives that shape our lives. Raoul Peck's documentary I Am Not Your Negro extends the reach of his thought.
