Artmongering in Lebanon
In July 2019 we went to Tripoli in northern Lebanon to work with Syrian Refugees, in partnership with WAR CHILD Holland.
We travelled with two fellow South Londoners, Isa Suarez, who is musician and composer, and photographer and filmmaker Hamza Salmi.
We worked in a small, integrated community in Adwi, where we found a distinctive harmony between the local Lebanese community and the forty Syrian families that had settled in the foothills.
The building we worked in was primarily used as a school for children, but also hosted activities for parents and adolescents. We developed several ideas with the community, including participatory murals, soundtracks, conversational circles and portrait photography projects. We worked with children, adolescents and women in all our activities, looking to promote resilience and enhance their sense of pride, ownership and wellbeing.
