Color Rush!

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.
