The original Shalom-Salam (Peace) T-shirt by Mira Awad.
The word PEACE can be read both in Hebrew and Arabic: Shalom-Salam.

About the design: As a speaker of both languages, and a peace activist, I wanted to depict how intertwined our lives and our languages are here in Israel / Palestine. So I came up with this design where the word "Peace" can be read both as Shalom (in Hebrew) and Salam (in Arabic). Important: This is not a ready-made font that I used, but a manipulation of the letters to be readable in both languages.
This T-shirt is a unisex standard cut, so it's a good fit for both men and women, and should be compatible with international size charts for a standard t-shirt. However, it is always wise to consult the size charts available below, using both metric and imperial measurements of the garment for your convenience.
The shirt is made of 100% combed and ring-spun cotton, so it's very soft and comfy. The fabric is pre-shrunk, so there should not be any accidents during reasonable washing, and the print is of high quality and very durable.
With minimum care, this Shalom-Salam activist T-shirt promises to serve you for a long time ☺️

More about the design:
The design was made in 2014, during a military operation on Gaza. I printed the Shalom Salam logo I had created on a t-shirt and wore it to an Israeli-Palestinian joint peace rally. People immediately reacted to it, and asked me where I got it and that they would love to get one. I printed a number of T-shirts and handed them out to friends. Mostly artists like myself, who wanted to wear the peace statement. But with time, as demand rose, I went ahead and opened an online shop, where the T-shirt could be purchased. Looking back, this activist T-shirt was what started my e-commerce journey. Since then, this shop took on the shape of a social enterprise, where parts of the profits go to educational programs for tolerance and dialogue.
