About the art

The unique t-shirt designs were originally hand painted by Arte Sana Founding Executive Director, Laura Zárate to help raise funds for Arte Sana's outreach efforts in Texas and nationally.
Original ‘LunaSol' Arte Sana 10th Anniversary T-shirt in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)

The symbolism:
In Spanish ‘el sol' is a masculine noun and ‘la luna' is a feminine noun. The original LunaSol design honors Pre-Columbian concepts of gender duality and the fact that sexual violence affects all, regardless of gender or gender orientation. The design's slogan "Advocacy + Prevention Sin Fronteras" reaffirms that victim rights are human rights regardless of residency or residency status and that EVERYONE should be engaged as an agent of change in order to prevent sexual violence.

100% cotton t-shirt design is available in women's sizes only. The standard sizes are similar to those found in most retail clothing stores.
Día de Los Muertos / Day of the Dead gifts
The symbolism:
During rituals that honored the dead, Aztecs and other Meso-American civilizations used skulls to symbolize death and rebirth. For centuries skeletons and skulls, known as calacas have played an important symbolic role in Day of the Dead art and in altars, as brightly colored sugar skull ofrendas or offerings. The Arte Sana calaca form is wearing a garland of flowers.

The garland of flowers includes the colors teal and purple to represent sexual and intimate partner violence awareness. To honor the cultural roots of el Día de los Muertos, survivors of gender-based violence, and victim advocates; a rendition of the pre-Columbian symbol that represents "movement" has been painted on the forehead.
