Brief Explanation

Based on the insight that ‘asking for blood contributions feels like begging’ and on the fact that street beggars are found at every major intersection in Beirut, we organized a stunt of undercover volunteers knocking on cars windows to beg… for blood. This was to remind people of what Lebanese families go through when a loved one is in need of blood, and to highlight the absurdity of having to beg for it to save a life.
