Now in Lebanon
A new photo exhibition in Lebanon brings together two of my favorite places in the world: Mali in West Africa, and Deir al-Qamar in Lebanon. The French Cultural Center of Deir al-Qamar is currently showing photographs taken in Mali by Jean-Claude Frisque and Nomwinde Vivien Sawadogo. The exhibition is part of this year’s Francophone Month, which celebrates French culture through workshops, film screenings, and art exhibitions. The last time I traveled from Beirut to Deir al-Qamar by motorcycle, it took about an hour and a half. This week, I’m hoping to hop back on the bike, and catch a glimpse of Mali in the mountains of Lebanon…
