The Beirut Art Fair 2013 has invited Katya Traboulsi to transform one of the fair’s spaces into an unprecedented display. The exhibit titled “Generation War” showcases the works of six Lebanese photojournalists born in the sixties: George Azar, Patrick Baz, Aline Manoukian, Samer Mohdad, Jack Dabaghian and Roger Moukarzel.

When war erupted in Lebanon in the 1980s, the six of them were barely 20 years old. Through their lenses, scenes from daily life transcend with humor, cynicism and surrealism.

Their attempts at immortalizing moments amongst the rumble and deserted streets were picked up by the international press, publishing their photographs across the globe: Paris Match, The New York Times, Newsweek, International Herald Tribune, Al Jazeera International, Agence VU, AFP, Reuters, Sygma.

Today, they are regarded as great reporters and press photographers with international recognition.

By supporting “Generation War”, Marine Jacquemin, journalist and great reporter, gives tribute to the talent of these six photographers, whom she befriended not only in Lebanon but also in Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia.
