PAS EN SOURDINE
A different route should not make a voice inaudible. The French phrase “Pas en sourdine” means “Not on mute” — a refusal to be silenced.


The story
This design responds to our reporting on the imposed route of the 31 October Paris demonstration and the space available for public expression. Its megaphone represents a voice seeking to be heard. The slogan is a personal interpretation of that debate, not a quotation attributed to demonstrators. Both garments keep the original French phrase. These T-shirt and cap images are design previews, not factory-approved production samples, and are not available to buy.
