Embodying a spirit of resilience and strength, Ruby Roth’s hand-painted billy clubs are symbols of undaunted fortitude and self-defense. Galvanized by a run-in with n*zi scum, Ruby went to work. These clubs transcend the notion of weapons of violence; instead, they represent the unwavering grit required to combat backward, downward, and toxic forces. The inclusion of checkers calls on Ruby’s love for ska music and its historical use of duotones to symbolize multi-racial unity. This is art with a purpose for these times——a reminder to confront all worthy battles head-on, with courage, in a relentless pursuit to serve that which we love and cherish. Supremacists, bigots and other kooks—beat it!
