Creative Lives: Portraits of Lebanese Artists
How to tell the story of a country?
One way: Profile filmmakers, architects, fashion and furniture designers, visual artists, musicians, media pioneers, and writers. Let individual stories speak to pivotal moments in time, shared desires and challenges, varied practices, and hard-won insights.
This book (featuring photographs by Roger Moukarzel and an introduction by author Roseanne Saad Khalaf) tells stories about a group of people with unusual opportunities to create and change. Set in Lebanon, before, during, and after the war that changed everything, it's also about artists and innovators everywhere — what we want, how we work, and how we live.
