Bondo Mask Black T-Shirt
Bondo Mask Black T-Shirt
FAMBUL x A.W.A.T.S.
The Bondo society is a women’s cultural initiation society in Sierra Leone that guides girls through the transition into womanhood. During a period of seclusion, initiates receive education on morality, respect, community responsibility, sexuality, and cultural values. The society also serves as a powerful network of female leadership and social influence.
The Bondo mask, displayed prominently on the front of the t-shirt, represents the spirit of the society and an ideal of womanhood. Its smooth black surface symbolizes beauty and spiritual depth, lowered eyes reflect modesty, and the neck rings signify health and prosperity. The mask embodies feminine strength, discipline, wisdom, and cultural continuity.
“GBOROKA” refers to a woman who has not undergone circumcision, which is typically part of the process.
Proceeds from the sale of this t-shirt support a campaign by African Women & Their Stories (A.W.A.T.S.) to bring awareness to female genital mutilation (FGM).
