Walking around the streets of Beirut, I came across several
outstanding jobs, aiming at beautifying the city, while allowing a creative and
imaginative flow of fun & colors!
Spotted in Hamra, Karantina and Achrafieh (among other places):
The Graffiti Scene:
Finally the “M+T=LOVE” and “Bhabbik ya Fofo” are fading
gradually and making way to more artistic and innovative graffiti. Stories are
told through the colors and designs, which always keep you on the look out for
more.
A group of young designers, who go by the name of Dihzahyners,
came up with a fun way to reinvent the worn out stairs in Beirut. They painted
stairs in Sakiet El Janzeer and Ras Beirut from top to bottom with fresh bright
colors bringing them back to life.
An innovative movement called Dispatchwork that started in
Italy and spread across the world has finally reached Beirut. Thanks to the help of a
group of Lebanese enthusiasts, Dispatch Beirut have been working on patching cracked
walls around Beirut with Lego pieces. Yes… pieces of all colors, shapes and
sizes have been used to restore walls around the city.
So grab your paint buckets, shake your spray cans, gather
your old Lego pieces and hit the street. Give back to the community and have
fun!
Until next time...
Ghida.
