BIKINI KILL frontwoman KATHLEEN HANNA s TEES4TOGO is a star-studded line of T-shirts designed by and portraying designs of HANNA and her friends. Last week, HANNA released the second episode of her brand-new TEES 4 TOGO TV web series in which she interviews artist and musician ADELE ROBERSON. The series focuses on the artists, musicians, actors, activists and comedians who are a part of HANNA’s T-shirt line.
Hanna doesn’t think there’s a tension between her activism and her career as a musician. For the legendary rocker, art and politics are inseparable, part of a broader mission to make the world more beautiful and more inclusive. Or, as she puts it, “It’s actually all the same fucking project.”

One of your latest projects is Tees4Togo, a T-shirt company that you started in 2018. You’ve been an advocate your entire career what inspired you to create this brand?
I moved to Southern California, and we rented a house. My landlady introduced me to her friend, Tina Kampor, who gave me a flyer to go to this event. It was in a tiny little shop. Tina got up and started talking about Peace Sisters, and I was extremely moved.
