The Black Face Project

The Black Face Project is one of h.m. Peavy's most culturally significant bodies of work — a series of T-shirts and artworks celebrating iconic Black figures and the richness of Black identity. From Jean-Michel Basquiat to Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson to Frederick Douglass, each piece is a handcrafted tribute to history, resistance, and beauty.
