DESMEEM Talk: Design & Migrant Worker Integration

With Nina Martin, Manuella Makhoul, and Maria Matloub

Recently, the secret has been let out: Migrant workers in Lebanon have been treated with the least degree of humanity possible. These designers spent hours taking to Lebanon’s foreign helpers and developed workshops in order to understand exactly how they arrive in Lebanon, what they are promised and what they actually are delivered. This talk will have an emotional impact on viewers.

This is one of the talks for Beirut Design Week 2012. The talks are all dedicated to the role of design in social and environmental context.
