Kinda Hibrawi is a Syrian- American Painter based in LA.
Born to Syrian parents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and grew up between Bahrain, Beirut and Massachusetts, before moving to Southern California.
Through her studies she began to expand on the ancient tradition of Arabic Calligraphy by giving it a modern twist. As an Arab American, she felt the need for her artwork to reflect the richness of the Middle East coupled with Western diversity.
In 2010 Kinda made her art come to life when she teamed up with the United Nations UNRWA to create the "BUY A TEE, HELP A REFUGEE".
This original Arabic Calligraphy Tee Collection was designed to promote peace and understanding through the positive message that each shirt represents. By wearing them, you join the movement to help change the world one shirt at a time.
Proceeds from this collection will support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency's (UNRWA) Adopt a school Program in Gaza. Adopt a School is an ongoing campaign aimed at overcoming the negative effects on children of prolonged conflict and poverty, and increasing the quality of education at UNRWA schools in Gaza.
