COMMUNITY ART EVENT - DESIGN INSPIRATION
KLABU and Movement On The Ground worked directly with the refugee community by holding an art event to find inspiration for the Lesvos shirts.
The phrase "one day we will fly away," written by the refugees, inspired the jersey's design, with feathers wrapping the sleeves so that when the arms are outstretched, they become wings to fly from the camp and onto a better life.
The dove on the badge represents the same metaphor for flying away and symbolises peace. The art style of the badge is inspired by classic greek art, representing the host community.
The coloured gradient represents the sunrises and sunsets of the island and the transitions in the refugee's journey.
The drawings shown are from the community art event.

LESVOS SPIRIT - EL SEED
KLABU invited French-Tunisian calligraphy artist El Seed to collaborate with the
refuge community of Lesvos, creating murals around the location and painting the clubhouse.
In 2023 KLABU will launch a jersey in collaboration with El Seed.
