Our Makibaka Tote Bag was made in collaboration with The Map'd Project. Makibaka (mah-kee-BAH-kah) means to fight or resist, symbolizing our fight and journey through collective liberation. This walking art piece is your reminder to care for yourself while continuing to show up for your community in the unique ways we each have capacity for. The fight for freedom continues.
