"Hold Everything Dear" T-Shirt

Limited edition short-sleeved t-shirt featuring artwork from the new edition of John Berger’s Hold Everything Dear

John Berger (1926-2017) was one of the world’s most influential thinkers and writers. As a novelist, he won the Booker and donated half his prize money to the Black Panthers; as a critic, he changed how we looked at art in Ways of Seeing; as an activist, he defended the rights and dignity of workers, migrants and the oppressed around the world.

In addition to our John Berger Essentials Series and Tom Overton’s definitive new biography, we are commemorating his 100th birthday this November with a limited printing of Hold Everything Dear graphic tees.

memory that grows into a shape the tree always knew as a seed

the words
the bread

the child who reaches for the truths beyond the door
the yearning to begin again together
animals keen inside the parliament of the world
the people in the room the people in the street the people

hold everything dear
