"Black Lies Matter" highlights the unchosen truths or well-managed untruths of our society.
Rómulo Santa Rita, the artist behind the collection, addresses various subjects such as the ongoing misery and despair of African communities and the perpetuation of child slavery, which are often ignored by the more privileged parts of the world. The artist criticises the lack of empathy and conversation about these issues and emphasises the importance of acknowledging and addressing them in order to end a culture of subjugation and inequality.
