Couldn't load pickup availability
Gossy: A Journey with Cotton is a 20-page (8x5") print booklet honoring the legacies and migrations of cotton plants. It goes over cotton's global origins and botany, tips for growing your own cotton, and uplifts how people of the African diaspora are beginning to reconnect with this plant despite the generational stigma associated with it due to centuries of European colonization, violence, and exploitation.
Written, Compiled, and Photographed by Maya Marie S.
NOTE: The first 10 orders of Gossy have the option to receive a free, Brooklyn-grown boll of Sea Island Brown Cotton as a token of appreciation for your early support. It comes with the seeds still attached to the lints if you'd like to try growing it this season. Please select the "with cotton boll" option when ordering if you'd like to receive one with your order, if you don't see that option it's no longer available.
Please allow 1-2 weeks for order to ship.
