CAN I GET A WITNESS? is the debut studio album by South African Poet Koleka Putuma, released by Manyano Media on April 27, 2024.
In honouring the traditions of storytelling and collaboration, the album joins a distinguished lineage of poetry fused with music, bearing witness to artistic legacies and practices of dreaming and archiving.
The CAN I GET A WITNESS? Album Collectors' Tote Bag is handmade locally in bull denim, and is screenprinted. Available in black only.
The Statement Collection is a merchandise range that documents and shares quotes, poems, and ideas in process. First created to combat the anti-citation epidemic that plagues the streets of social media, the statement collection was copy righted to set the record straight and take care of business (in every cents of the word!). As the collection expands, so do the statements and areas of combat. T-shirts and Totes never ended wars, but they have started and facilitated many conversations.
These words have resonated and have been carried by so many readers worldwide, so it was only fitting to make them tangible in this way as well.
Thank you for visiting the store.
Spread the word (and don’t forget to cite a bitch!)
