Who We Are

Founded by Kristies Lab, Flip for Beirut is a private initiative that aims to support 90 families whose homes and livelihoods were severely impacted by the Beirut port explosion on August 4, 2020. We provide financial assistance to our families through the sale of digital illustrations.

Why Donate

Flip for Beirut uses art to create awareness, spread hope and heal hearts. We have collaborated with a handpicked selection of Lebanese and foreign illustrators to bring to life a series of unique images that capture the essence of Beirut: its triumph and tragedy. Imbued with nostalgia, our limited-edition postcards can be purchased online. Profits from the sale of each and every postcard go directly to vulnerable Lebanese citizens.

The Illustrations

Our digital illustrations are special — just like Beirut. Through lenticular printing, a technology that gives the illusion of depth or movement when pictures are viewed from different angles, we embrace the paradoxes of the Lebanese capital and pay homage to its contradictions.

Our illustrations cost $15 each. Should you wish to donate more to our families in need, you can select $25 or $35 per illustration.
