Meet the 3 Lebanese women on the BBC 100 most inspiring and influential women around the world in 2019.⁣
⁣
@dayna_ash @najataounsaliba @ayahbdeir ⁣
⁣
How were the 100 Women chosen? ⁣
The BBC's 100 Women team drew up a shortlist based on names gathered by them and suggested by the BBC's network of World Service languages teams. We were looking for candidates who had made the headlines or influenced important stories over the past 12 months, as well as those who have inspiring stories to tell, achieved something significant or influenced their societies in ways that wouldn't necessarily make the news.⁣

Born in Lebanon in 1925, Etel Adnan is an epic poet, an essayist and visual artist whose work has inspired generations. ⁣
⁣
Her career spans over several decades and her work includes writing, painting, drawing, ceramics, film and tapestry.⁣
⁣
Her use of colors and luminous patterns are captivating. ⁣
⁣
Don’t miss her solo exhibit “The uprising of colors” at @sfeirsemlergallery in Beirut, running until April 11th. ⁣
⁣
“Etel Adnan wished this exhibition as a splash of hope amidst the current severe political and economic crisis Lebanon is witnessing.” ⁣
At the entrance you will hear a reading of the ‘Arab Apocalypse’ while the original manuscript is displayed on a screen. And you will be welcomed by her mural “Le Soleil Toujours”. The tone is set. ⁣
⁣
Take a stroll around the gallery, leave space for your mind to wander, look at her striking yet small format paintings, her long Japanese-like folding books and her tapestry, it will surely brighten up your day. ⁣

@beirutmakers brings together designers to explore local fabrication and digital technology.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
For their 10th edition, they exhibited for the first time in a public space, in Azarieh. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The collective met with several organisations in order to understand and identify the needs and stakes involved in the protests. They then put their knowledge of design and digital fabrication skills to good use, creating tools for demonstrators to be heard, seen and remain comfortable. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Beirutmakers it was nice to meet you! (unfortunately we didn't get to film everyone involved). Make sure to check out their work.
⁣⁣⁣
The collective includes: @ghouyoum @karimchaya
@raniasassine @nadazeineh @nhadechian @mohammadali4935 @tannous_c @noor_tabet @alex_ib @michaelnajjar @harbphilippine @monzerelhachem @mazenzahalan @suzie.mhmd

@SaraFelula singing her song with a beautiful crowd in Ryad el Solh.. ❤️🇱🇧 Written and composed: Sara Abdo
Lyrics: Sara Abdo and Elie Elias

Sound: Bassel JawhariWatch the original videoclip on Sara's Youtube channel + Listen to the original track on Soundcloud and Anghami

In the past few months, the revolution has created a valuable and safe place for debate, discussions and talks. It has allowed us to voice our views and thoughts on Lebanon but more importantly, it has made us reach out and listen to others. We are also more eager to learn about our country and feel the need to understand political, legal and economic issues. ⁣
Together, we are building a new Lebanon. ⁣
⁣
May Wazzan recently created the فتحو هالحديث @fta7o_hal7adeeth game inspired by the revolution. ⁣
Each card is an open-ended and thought-provoking question about Lebanon that will hopefully spark a conversation with a friend or even a stranger. ⁣ ⁣
This great initiative of “conversation engineering” as she puts it, made us laugh, scratch our heads and learn a thing or two about ourselves, our country and others. ⁣
⁣
Let’s play a round of conversations together.. Who’s in?⁣

*Available at Cafe Younes, Aaliya’s Books, Salon Beirut, Sage Parlour, Gift Mania, B.Hive, Hook, Halabi Bookshop and Ajialouna Shop. ⁣
