Ep410: Restoring Beirut

On August 4, 2020, an explosion shook Beirut. Days later, French-Lebanese sisters Laura and Sophie Tabet came up with an idea for an online marketplace, Beirut Re-Store (beirutrestore.com/), which ultimately came to feature 173 talents selling artworks and all proceeds going to independent NGOs to help with reconstruction. Laura, a creative director, and Sophie, a production designer, join me to recount their personal stories and the international community that's joined them. Note: Graphic descriptions may disturb some listeners.
