Flight of a Green Heron "Kapala" Shirt main photo

This stunning Kapala artwork was designed by our talented friend Candie who we had the pleasure of meeting at Xhead Tattoo Inn in Nepal. Originally we were going to print this shirt for the Glass Throat Recordings show with Patrick Walker but it was unfortunately cancelled due to Covid-19. We offer this design now to raise some funds for future Orb Weaver Collective projects. Half of the proceeds will be donated to the Playing for Change Foundation in support of the Tintale Village Mother's Society project out of Tintale, Udayapur, Nepal. Printed by Olympic Screen Printing on brown Next Level Apparel t-shirts.

Below are the specifics of the Tintale Village Mother's Society program.

"This collective of powerful women utilize artistic expression to teach young girls about the perils they face from dark-hearted traffickers. Locals tell us all too many villagers are surprisingly unaware of this tragedy in their midst. Through creative storytelling and mesmerizing song and dance, the audience is introduced to trafficker’s techniques enabling them to recognize the potential threat when introduced to their village. “There is no question this basic education saves lives,” one member states firmly.

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International report most occurrences happen right here in the southeastern Terai region. Young girls and women are easily trafficked because of their low cultural status. It is estimated that 10,000 girls, between the ages of 9-16, are trafficked each year from Nepal to India. This group is deeply committed to saving children from this tragic fate through education. PFCF’s support enables them to make costumes for the performances as well as provides travel expenses to neighboring villages to help spread the word."
