Culture Blog at be+cause, we think a lot about culture as a powerful vehicle and arena for change. It is also something we like to create--from producing the Tibetan Freedom Concerts to starting a clothing line to assisting other culture makers in their efforts to create positive social change. Being part of a lab (our parent company is C3 Lab), we like to innovate and experiment. This blog is where you can see it happen.

be+cause Clothing featured in Good Magazine
GOOD Magazine featured our Aung San Suu Kyi T-shirt in this month's Mar/April edition. The design is by super talented, Brooklyn based artist, Karen Ingram.
Ever since we started the HERO line of shirts we have wanted to feature Aung and had a clear concept for the depiction. Karen took our idea and made it into this masterpiece: layering 2 transparent colors over each other to give the effect of 3 colors and then overlapping her image with words from a 1995 speech she gave.
The recent peaceful protests in Burma by the monks, their supporters and the subsequent crackdown has made Karen's design all the more relevant. The shirt's design has sparked many conversations and questions from people unfamiliar with Aung San Suu Kyi and her people's struggle.
