It's just a mug, but it kind of makes us feel better. Sometimes the answer to not getting $10,000 is to spend $30. These mugs are made by Making Space, a virtual peer mentorship program focusing on the needs and wants of BIPOC artists, co-organized by two best friends; Kiona Callihoo Ligtvoet and Sanaa Humayun. 

Please note that this product will only be shipped out at the end of the exhibition, on August 24, 2025.

This item was produced as part of The Institute of Making Space for Noncompetitve Looms Gift Shop, a collaboration between LMRM, Making Space, The Bureau of Noncompetitive Research, and The Institute of Institutional Critique. This semi-fictional gift shop is an exhibition at Whippersnapper Gallery (Toronto) as part of a programming series supported by Collective Collective. Read here to learn more.
