Sat 22 Aug - Lebanese Women Artists



Lebanese art fundraiser. Celebrating female artists from Lebanon - musicians, writers, sculptors, painters, illustrators with co-ordinators and practitioners Suzie Selman, Helena Herb and India Roper-Evans. The explosions on 4 August that devastated Beirut port have caused nearly 200 deaths, about 6.000 injuries and left 300.000 homeless. Artists in Beirut and beyond discuss the impact and shock of this event alongside the difficulties of being a freelancer facing complex pressures which include censorship and repression. We share stories of individual women not covered in the mainstream media and show how to support women working on art in Beirut through this incident and its aftermath.
