Since Colin Kaepernick began kneeling in protest back in 2016, the act of taking a knee during the national anthem had become a lightning rod for Americans everywhere. Frenzied discussion and rhetoric surrounding the movement had obscured and conflated the deeper, original meaning behind it.
The Take a Knee Pad Project was a collective arts initiative aimed at showing our support for the impassioned NFL players across the country who continue to follow Kaepernick’s lead, not to disrespect the flag, but rather to peacefully protest police brutality against the black community and systemic oppression of people of color in America.
The project used knee pads as a canvas, each transformed into a work of art by +25 artists and assembled into one collaborative installation of publicly exhibited art aimed at representing the impact and origin of these social injustices.

In response to the school shooting where 17 people were killed, the students of Parkland High School organized a nationwide march on Washington to change the gun laws. We created this simple game as a side project to support their cause and help create awareness for it.
