We are an LGBTQIA++ refugee, immigrant and diasporan collective that makes one-of-a kind t-shirts in Athens, Greece. We up-cycle pre-loved t-shirts and screen print them with messages and slogans that celebrate queer life in all its colors! Our t-shirts make us happy and proud!
Gender Panic emerged out of an art project, commissioned by the Aphrodite* 2018 Film Festival in Athens, Greece. The project was originally called T-shirtaat and involved a series of get-togethers where a group of refugee, immigrant and diasporan LGBTQIA++ people came together not only to screen print onto recycled t-shirts, but also to laugh, hang-out and create community. For the Aphrodite* 2018 festival we made and screened the film T-Shirtaat.
Since then we have continued to screen print our t-shirts which you can find at at festivals, special events and selected organisations in Europe and America. If you see a t-shirt that you like in our range, let us know and we will ship our t-shirts to you.
We give our T-shirts out for donations. Your donations help support this project to continue and to connect with amazing people globally – with the specific aim of tearing down the patriarchy – one t-shirt at a time. We are tickled pink every time we see your pictures of our t-shirts in action, so please send them to us! It’s wonderful to know that our project, together with you, is making an impact.
