STang
is
creative resistance
“We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.” – Ursula K Le Guin
“All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.” – Noam Chomsky
STANG WORLD seeks to normalise quality over quantity and customisability over conformity. It is for the brave, the bold and for those who refuse to stay silent in the face of revolution.

Sandy moved to Wellington in 2020 to study and quickly became ‘Wellingtonified’ discovering an artistic passion which they had not explored before. They experimented with a range of university subjects and studied Fashion for 1.5 years at Massey University before graduating with a BA in Sociology, Education and Social Policy in 2024 from Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University. They share a love of poetry, music, fashion and social justice. You’ll find them at the local library, knitting in a nook, or at a local gig!
