Photomed Liban 2017
For the past seven years, Photomed Festival has been showcasing and highlighting Mediterranean beauty. From documentary testimonials to pure artistic expression, photography is a way to register and comprehend the world from several points of view. Beyond political, social, and religious upheavals, the Mediterranean is, above all, a region full of life and movement: it is similar to Photomed Festival which every year brings together young talents and well-known artists and photographers.
For its fourth consecutive year, Photomed Liban presents an edition based around three themes: cinema, the city of Beirut, and the poetry of ruins. It will also be the occasion to give a tribute to the great French photographer that has recently passed away: Marc Riboud.
This edition will also feature the works of international and Lebanese photographers such as Sergio Strizzi, Giulio Rimondi, Richard Dumas, Alain Fleischer, Ferran Freixa, Nicole Herzog-Verrey, Nick Hannes, Wassim Ghozlani, Christine Alaoui, George Awde, Lara Tabet, Bilal Tarabey, photographies by film director Danielle Arbid, and artworks presented by five galleries (Agial Art Gallery, Galerie Janine Rubeiz, Galerie Tanit, The Alternative, Alice Mogabgab Gallery).
