WokeFace Patch

Wokeface
Portland, OR

Wokeface was born in 2016 as a street art project in Portland, Oregon, created by a human named Janet.

The first Wokefaces were handpainted plywood cut-outs drilled into telephone poles. Then came stickers. A friend taught Janet how to screenprint, and then came posters and t-shirts.

People started asking if they could buy these items, shops started carrying them, and gradually the project began to fund itself and expand organically.

Wokeface continues to grow as a brand, and Janet continues to grow as an artist, frequently working on murals and collaborations in Portland and beyond.
