SOS JUSTICIA
Jon Sistiaga - 2009The tee shirt "SOS Justicia" had its origins in a TV report from the journalist Jon Sistiaga about the conditions of the prisoners in Guantanamo Jail, broadcast at the end of 2009. The reporter wore a special tee shirt designed by Kukuxumusu which showed the symbol of justice upside down and a pair of handcuffs forming the sign SOS. Neither the soldiers nor the prison officials noticed the content of the tee shirt. On his return, the journalist added a phase to complete the tee shirt: "Denouncing injustice is the only way to finish with it."

TXINPAS
Jane Goodall - 2009In the middle of 2009 the British ethologist, Jane Goodall, and Kukuxumusu got together to collaborate in the design of "Txinpas", a tee shirt aimed at making people aware of the need for animal protection and especially that of the large simians. The drawing shows a chimpanzee caught in a trap and who is helped by various different animals to set itself free. The phrase provided by the English ethologist completes the meaning and encourages people to unite their efforts: "However small our contribution, we can make a difference all together."

GEROKO
Juan Luis Arsuaga - 2007The paleontologist, Juan Luis Arsuaga, provided the following phrase for the tee shirt "Geroko": " Only the past has been written, we can still change the future." In the Kukuxumusu drawing there is an evolution tree with different species of hominoids. After the launch of the tee shirt in 2007, Arsuaga pointed out that " Today we know that even if we are alone, we are not the end of a single line, but rather that many branches have existed since the beginning, making our genealogical line a knotty tangle which is being unraveled in the light of new discoveries."

CEREBROTE
Vicente Madoz - 2007Kukuxumusu created "Cerebrote" around the middle of 2007, the first straitjacket that can't be tied down. With the aim of attracting attention on the need to integrate socially all those who suffer mental disabilities, Kukuxumusu counted on the collaboration of the psychiatrist, Vicente Madoz. It was he who provided the phrase to the drawing (an ivy-growing brain) on the tee shirt: "Lunacy is freedom...without knots." The tee shirt tried to recognize ways of thinking that are generally more creative and free than those in what we consider normal people.

KALIPE
Reinhold Messner - 2005In 2005, Kukuxumusu paid homage to the Italian mountaineer, Reinhold Messner, on the 25th anniversary of his solo conquest of The Everest and without the aid of oxygen. For this homage, Kukuxumusu designed a tee shirt with the collaboration of the mountaineer, who wished to put the phase "Kalipe" alongside the drawing. This word comes from Tibetan and means "standing, always serene". The illustration suggests that the heart - represented in the drawing by the climber himself - becomes an important support to overcome any difficulty, however difficult it may be.

This was in 2004 and the design was "Stem Cells". The drawing shows a group of stem cells looking after some tiny vital organs. A phrase filled with nuances and with the aim of provoking some thought was Punset's contribution to the drawing: "With the right culture, I will live forever."
