Kitted for Culture
Design and print on the RISO your own football shirt designs inspired by cultural identity and self-expression. Using a zine full of creative prompts, you’ll play with patterns, colours, and symbols to make something that represents who you are and where you come from. It’s a celebration of heritage, creativity, and pride, showing that visual language tells powerful stories, and that there’s more to football than just playing the game.

Lukman is a graphic designer and visual communicator driven by a curiosity about identity, community, and culture. Based in London, he works across editorial design, photography, digital media, and workshops, using storytelling as a tool for connection
