It’s called No-Wear.
And it’s not just clothing.
It’s awareness apparel.
We live in a city of movement.
Hotels. Highways. Festivals. Events.
People arriving. People leaving. People starting over.
Transitional spaces matter.
When someone goes missing, the last known location is often a place in between — a stopover, a check-in, a crossroads.
We call these spaces #pointofconcern.
Not because they are dangerous.
Not because someone is to blame.
But because they are places where we should be present. Aware. Paying attention.
What #pointofconcern Means
#pointofconcern is not about suspicion.
It’s about mindfulness in transitional spaces:
• Hotels & motels
• Travel corridors
• Downtown cores
• Event venues
• Festival grounds
These are crossroads.
And crossroads deserve awareness.
Why We’re Launching This Now
We’ve seen an increase in missing persons reports circulating online.
Instead of reacting with panic or pointing fingers, we’re choosing constructive awareness.
Inkfluence of Art Merch No-Wear Brand allows you to:
• Support missing persons initiatives
• Fund awareness efforts
• Signal quiet solidarity
• Help normalize conversation
Wearing it means:
Someone is still searching.
Someone still cares.
And you are part of that awareness.
Hotels & Motels as
Not because they are dangerous.
But because they are:
Temporary
Anonymous
Transitional
Crossroads spaces
And crossroad spaces matter in missing persons timelines.
Hotels & Motels as
#PointOfReturn is:
A place someone can step into safely
A visible business with staff
A lobby with lighting and cameras
A staffed front desk
A location with documentation and record-keeping
That actually makes hotels strong awareness allies.
This angle is powerful.

Introducing: No-Wear
No-Wear is designed to blend in — not stand out aggressively.
It carries subtle signals:
• “Still Searching.”
• “Find Us.”
• “Point of Return.”
• “You Are Not Alone.”
It’s quiet.
Intentional.
Grounded.
When you wear No-Wear, you’re not making noise.
You’re making presence.
The INK-Shop
No-Wear and F-INK pieces are now available in the INK-Shop at:
Every purchase supports continued awareness, development and community outreach efforts across Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.
This is not about fear.
It’s about presence.
It’s about being a visible reminder that no one should disappear into silence.
Wear the awareness.
Support the search.
Be present at the crossroads.
