We do love the support we receive from lots of academics who buy our shirts. A few years ago we were at the @AustAssocResEd conference at @QUT. I wasn't really keen on doing it - we were busy & it was nearly Christmas.

Always remember the day our Twitter blew up when a character from Channel 4's #WeAreLadyParts was wearing one of our shirts. No idea it was going to happen, thanks Twitter! And you should definitely watch the show - we loved it! #NotAWillingParticipant #Episode5

@jennifer_philp We do have a lot of non-Indigenous supporters (here in Australia & overseas) who do purchase our designs which is awesome.

The broader purpose of @DarkDisturb, beyond tshirts, is about curating projects.

Vernon is the artist and designer of all @DarkDisturb's products, and the exercise is in essence an artwork. But I do the work behind the scenes.

To clarify, whitefellas don't properly understand the designs or the context that we present.
Replying to @IndigenousX
Our product doesn't sell at non-Indigenous market events. White people don't understand the designs or their context. (LW)

But of course, Dark and Disturbing is about Vernon's text's works.
We are sitting here writing these tweets together. I was going to tweet 'Vernon's first passion was screen-printing' but then I realised it's actually drawing. He replied: 'Yep. I'm a drawer.' (LW)

Dark and Disturbing is a curatorial / performance project of Vernon Ah Kee. His broader practice is more multi-disciplined incorporating drawing, video, installation, design, printmaking. You can see more of his practice here: milanigallery.com.au/artist/…
