Creative women work in Beirut: Sculptures from shattered glass, “Beirut chants for hope”

Lebanese artist Sara Abu Murad made new sculptures in her Beirut studio using shattered glass from the devastating explosion which hit the Port of Beirut on August 4. The art works were presented yesterday during a ceremony to mark the Greater Lebanon centenary in the presence of French President Emmanuel Macron who concludes his official visit today. On the other hand, Lebanese singer, Abeer Neemeh, will hold a concert on September 8 under the title, ‘Beirut chants for hope’ as part of the annual Beirut Music Festival which takes place in December. The evening will be streamed on Facebook in light of the coronavirus enforced health restrictions. It will also be broadcast live on MTV Lebanon and various “Beirut Chants” social media platforms.
