Molly Thaya T-shirt
Limited edition signed silkscreen art in the form of a t-shirt!
(100% cotton, beautiful quality)
If you buy and wear one of these shirts you will bring this art project to life! It is about joyfully permeating our city, Buffalo, with feminine power. The artist aims to achieve her goal with your help, by literally spreading authentic images of real Buffalo women around town on these beautiful, high-quality t-shirts.
Each shirt features a woman’s portrait along with words she either wrote or chose herself. Molly’s quote reads: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
After living for two years in a refugee camp in Thailand, Molly Thaya and her family travelled to Buffalo. She belongs to the Karen ethnic group, which is indigenous to modern day Myanmar, and which has suffered ethnic cleansing and displacement throughout the country’s post-colonial conflict. She was educated as a maternity nurse and for decades she ushered babies into the world in state hospitals, private homes, and war bunkers. She contentedly resides here now, amongst her three sons and their families.
