Dar Onboz is hosting an exhibition at the Beirut Art Center called “Fly Bird Fly”. The exhibition features a number of creations that revolve around birds in Lebanon and will be on display for a duration of two months.<\/p>\n
Many indigenous Lebanese birds have disappeared. Many birds don’t migrate through Lebanon anymore, and to avoid death or starvation have changed their thousands of years old migrating routes. Many cycles of life have been broken.<\/p>\n
In the midst of all these lost journeys of migration and flying some have managed to recapture some of these birds only to free them as drawings, stories and songs; as peeping wheels and shadow theatres; as handmade Lebanese tiles, pillows and embroidery; as games, wooden seals and as origami. All these birds are for you to meet, remember, keep, and hopefully protect.<\/p>\n
This journey that they have created is for the entire family. For the young and old to come and play, discover and explore. An old Lebanese folk tale, a hakawati, will be performed, with live drawing projections and music. A series of workshops will also be held for the entire family that present origami, the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures, as well as on how to make handmade, recycled paper. Other exciting talks will revolve around ecosystems, bird watching, and preservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
