NEW Swoon "Walki" Print - Upper Playground, by ksedge on Dec 29, 2010 2:22:02 GMT 1, still some prints available! can't wait to collect mine from Fedex in a few more days.
update from upper playground and swoon:
Swoon and The Konbit Shelter Project in Haiti
On December 21st, Swoon and The Konbit Shelter Project team left for Haiti to begin construction on single family adobe style homes. After the team finished construction on a community center in Bigones Villages this past summer, they left Haiti promising to return to the village to help rebuild further but unsure about how it could potentially happen. Through the generous donations of friends, strangers, the purchasers of Swoonโs Walki print and a Rockefeller grant, the team was able to put the plans in motion to return and make their promise a reality.
Over the last eight days in Haiti, the team in Bigones has assembled a team of workers from the village and have begun to lay the foundation of the first Konbit home. The initial home is being made for a woman from the Bigones village who gave birth to a baby girl while the team was in Haiti last and has been living in a tent for nearly a year. Through the process of building this home the team is aiming to also educate the workers theyโve employed to learn this low-cost and highly durable style of construction so that the idea can propagate itself organically through the Haitian communities.
For those that would still like to contribute to the project, there are a few remaining Walki prints which will be on sale until January 1st, 2011 or until they sell out โ 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the print go towards the Konbit Shelter Project. The print is made of a three-layer screenprint on handmade Indian jute paper measuring 13″ x 21″ and is limited at an edition of 300 signed and numbered prints. The print is available online at the Upper Playground Web Store.
