James Baldwin | Essential unisex cotton T-shirt

An essential silhouette, an invitation in the gaze. This United Souls t-shirt pays tribute to James Baldwin through a design by Camille Laforcenée, accompanied by a phrase chosen by United Souls: “I have to make conscious of the things you don't see”. The drawing and words invite us to become aware of what escapes the eye, in the spirit of the artist's role.

Its regular fit and 170 g/m² cotton make it an easy piece to pair with jeans or to wear under a jacket. Against light backgrounds, from white to grey, from natural to pink and light blue, the design accompanies your days with this idea unique to United Souls: style has meaning.

A creation by Camille Laforcenée

An architect by training, Camille Laforcenée chose to dedicate herself to her art. As a drawer, 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 copper engraving, tetrapack, and linocut.

She taught traditional screen printing for three years at the 54fils studio 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 weekly workshops there 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 of American society. Having settled in France in 1948, he returned to the United States to commit himself to the civil rights movement. Through his books and public speaking, he encourages us to confront injustices and question the narratives that shape our lives. Raoul Peck's documentary I Am Not Your Negro extends the reach of his thought.
