‘The People(s) of the Balcony’ Lecture at Ashkal Alwan

The People(s) of the Balcony is a lecture by Waddah Charara.

This lecture and conversation is a descriptive study of Beirut’s Manara corniche or seafront promenade, as a society consisting of overlapping and adjacent groups, and a stage on which these groups exhibit their ‘manners,’ form their relations, and inhabit their domains.
Through the description, the lecture aims to deduce a general or common trait that can help define the implicit contract on the basis of which these groups and individuals have convened.

In Arabic with simultaneous interpretation into English.
