Tkay Maidza promotional T-shirt
NFSA ID

Year
2023
This promotional T-shirt was sold as part of the merchandising for Takudzwa Victoria Rosa 'Tkay' Maidza's 2023 album Sweet Justice. The shirt blends Tkay's stylised, high-impact look with a deliberately raw, DIY aesthetic. The contrast mirrors the themes of the album itself, which explores vulnerability, empowerment and transformation. The butterflies symbolise Tkay's ongoing metamorphosis as an artist and serve as a visual shorthand for growth and change. Tkay is a Zimbabwean-born Australian singer-songwriter and hip hop artist from Adelaide who describes her style as 'alternative hip-hop, alternative pop, alternative R&B'.
