I grew up in Beirut, the site of a catastrophic explosion on August 4th, 2020. This caused almost 200 deaths, 6,500 inuries, and billions of pounds worth of damage to homes, schools, and businesses, leaving 300,000 people homeless. All proceeds from the oversized cloth will be donated to Beirut-based charity Beit el Baraka, who are rebuilding homes destroyed in the blast.
The piece was designed by myself, Siwar Kreytem, and Shaden Fakih during a workshop in our hometown of Beirut. The workshop was held by Iranian graphic designer, Homa Delvaray.
