Met with Brett today to have lunch and discuss about OpenCinema.
Why i posted this particular image?
After reading Habib’s tweet; “Talks abt imminent Israeli/Lebanese war ths summer, really hope not. Wish thr was a way 2 influence. Enough wars, we wnt peace, I wnt peace!”

Reminded me about a particular graffitti piece I made in Beirut in 2008, 2 yrs after the Summer War with Israel.





The war, the remixing, all this is related as it all came to while I was stuck in Montreal in 2006, when my flight was canceled. i was going to see my mom, when the airport got bombed more then once. I wanted to create a video where we look at the CNN footage, but we hear my mom talking to me on the phone. I had recorded her and she was saying: “Don’t worry, it’s ok. We will rebuild the airport habibi don’t worry”
