Mezzing In Lebanon
The installation brought a bustling scene of falafel and coffee stalls, a small lounge cinema, street signs, carts, and even an authentic barbershop to Somerset House. As visitors sat, ate, drank, smoked and talked, they were transported to the streets of Beirut. Architect Annabel Karim Kassar found glimpses of utopia in the bricolage of Beirut's raw, functional and authentic urban interventions, and the diverse ways in which people occupy social space.
