Resistance and Art


There are many sites, thankfully, that have come up this past week with lots of up-to-date coverage of the situation in Lebanon. Electronic Lebanon being just one.

Today they had an article about Mazen Kerbaj, a Beiruti comic author, painter and musician who has been documenting his experiences through drawings posted on his blog. His images form a poignant, powerful and utterly heartbreaking narrative of what's happening right now.

If anyone's reading this, please check it out and feel free, per the artist's request, to re-post and re-distribute his incredible images. As he writes: "PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO COPYRIGHT ON ANY OF THE DRAWINGS OF THIS BLOG. PLEASE DO PUBLISH, PHOTOCOPY, PRINT, DISTRIBUTE EVERYWHERE ALL THE DRAWINGS IF YOU CAN."

Especially those of you in the states: Please! Pay attention! Don't let our government and the mainstream media blind you to what's happening. Look for yourself with your own eyes.
