"The Sunflower: Соняшник" Unisex T-Shirt

#StandWithUkraine #SunflowerPower

On Thursday, February 24, 2022, Russia further invaded Ukraine creating the largest humanitarian crisis since World War II.

To support Ukrainians, we are offering pop-up collections for sale.  Proceeds will be donated to help Ukraine through the Ukrainian Credit Union "UCU Helps Ukraine Project".

We are proud to partner with incredible artists based in Ukraine & Canada.  KRAPKA is grateful to showcase how art, culture & humanitarian aid can help the world.

Artists

Michelle and Alex Stoney | Мішель і Алекс Стоуні are Gitxsan artists based in British Columbia, Canada.  Digging deep into their Indigenous roots and traditions, the brother-sister team create modern interpretations of the world around them.  During the early days of the COVID19 pandemic, Michelle created a colouring page containing the sunflower.  The Stoney's posted that the Sunflower was developed by Indigenous Peoples in North American for over 7000 years and all domesticated varieties of Sunflower come from the Americas.  In the 1500s, the Spanish brought them back to Europe where the Slavic peoples embraced the Sunflower.  (Jacob Beaton's FB timeline Tea Creek).  Alex says he wanted to share a visual representation of this unique relationship:  "I felt this information showed how we are all connected in some way.  Since we are all connected, we stand together".  KRAPKA reached out to the Stoney's about this humanitarian project fusing art & cultures, and they immediately agreed.

KRAPKA is proud to showcase one pop-up collection for adults and youth created by the Stoney siblings:  "The Sunflower:   Соняшник".
