Austin-Based GRAV and Artist Savina Monet Launch Weeklong Series on Instagram to Celebrate International Women’s Day

Austin, TX, March 08, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Austin pipe company GRAV has teamed up a with Portland-based artist Savina Monet, known as The Queen of Cannabis Collages, to celebrate International Women’s Day. Based on the overwhelming response of the initial offering, the collaboration will know encompass the entire week with activations on GRAV’s official Instagram (@gravlabs). The highlight of the activation will be on Wednesday March 8 with an IG takeover by the Queen herself, Savina Monet.

In 2022, GRAV commissioned Monet to contribute to the Grav Artist Series with a graphic artwork that highlights the censorship of both women’s bodies and the cannabis industry itself. “We wanted to stick to a pretty restricted color palette to bring attention to the body itself, the subject of the entire poster,” Savina explains. “So I wanted to use imagery that was inherently feminine but also wasn't too bold, too saturated. So the ornate frame in the background, the flowers—all those shapes and visuals are just cues toward the femininity of the plant itself and of the model.” The print was intended to be a limited release, but the GRAV team realized it was the perfect piece to bring back for International Women’s Day. “We were also excited to work with Savina again. Her work and her activism are inspiring, and we believe reflects the values of our customers at GRAV,” says Safiatou Soumana, Social Media Strategist at GRAV. You can purchase the Flower is Female print only on GRAV’s website, grav.com, with purchase proceeds from the poster benefiting the artist and Fund Texas Choice.
