Artifact 01: Heritage-Reclaiming Jackets Client: Agnes
Stolen From Mexico
We designed a limited edition jacket collection for Agnes, each a potent wearable provocation to ignite discourse. Inspired by pre-Hispanic Mexican artifacts looted and sold in auction houses globally, they stand as bold declarations urging us to reclaim and own our heritage, even if they stole it.

What's with the name?
ExtraOrdinary Aliens is an immigrant-owned creative studio. The moniker is a playful subvert to the label thrust upon numerous ambitious immigrant creatives by a complex, and an unfriendly immigration system.
What are new cultural artifacts?
New cultural artifacts inspire awe while shaping tomorrow's culture. Through a format-fluid approach, we challenge boundaries to articulate bold ideas by any means necessary, blending design, fashion, film, tech, music, or games into iconic artifacts.
Say hi! We're friendly.
We work globally, with deep experience and networks across North America, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Whether you’re a brand or creative, connect with us on Instagram to create the next new cultural artifact together.
