A limited-run of Shiloh Sagapolu’s iconic Lady Toa T-Shirts have been reissued to coincide with PUPURITIA: Storytelling and Contemporary Textiles.

Shiloh created Lady Toa as an symbol for siren culture, a subculture where crews battle custom-built sound systems, utilising sirens from loudspeakers.

“Traditionally, siren crew merchandise features a lot of text, often placed on the back of shirts. ‘Toa’ references the favoured brand of sirens and also means warrior in Samoan. I played on ‘siren’ having two meanings – also referring to alluring women in Greek mythology.”
