Graffiti,Between Revolution and Evolution Roundtable at Beirut Art Center

Wednesday, Sep 19, 2012
5:00pm -> 10:00pm
Beirut Art Center

In the framework of the exhibition, White Wall, Saradar has organized a roundtable. Prominent panelists will focus on the phenomenon of Lebanese graffiti and its evolution from a message of war to a contemporary artistic expression.

At a time when Graffiti has evolved to become a recognized form of art around the world, Graffiti in Lebanon has evolved tremendously throughout the years, from a revolutionary way to express socio-political and war-related messages to more elaborate and ‘fashionable’ wall paintings. This project will be the first attempt ever to organize a public event about Graffiti and its various expressions. It will include a multimedia exhibition and a roundtable discussion, during which panelists will decrypt and discuss the phenomenon past and present in Lebanon, the Middle East and elsewhere.
