Art and war(s)

During the Second World War, Laure Ghorayeb was too young to draw.

During the Lebanese civil war, Laure Ghorayeb never stopped drawing.
During the Lebanese civil war, Mazen Kerbaj discovered both war and drawing.

During the 33 days of July 06 war, Laure Ghorayeb and Mazen Kerbaj found nothing better to do than drawing.

From the 6th to the 30th of March 2007 they are showing their july war
diaries in a joint exhibition entitled From One Window, The Other at Galerie Janine Rubeiz, Raouché, Beirut.
The artists will be launching and signing their two books at the opening on the 6th of March.
