Inspired by a friend and London Play wright, in a conversation
about the meaning of ‘woke’ or ‘stay woke’, (which originated from African American vernacular, meaning ‘to be awake and
alert to social injustices and racism’, which gained significant cultural traction in 1960s America during the Civil Rights Movement. though the use of ‘woke’ today represents very different contexts and can be used pejoratively, often politically
and culturally charged); John embarked on creating iconic ‘woke’ popart, representing his belief of doing no harm to others.
