Women top winners at Salon d’Automne for arts
22-1-2019
Five women and one man artists working across all media, from painting and installation to video, were announced winners of the 33rd Salon d’Automne Awards ceremony held on January 10th at Sursock Museum in Beirut, An Nahar reported today. Photographer, Lara Tabet, received the Sursock Museum Prize for her video ‘The river’ which expounds the threat to the Lebanese citizen’s safety and health. Emerging Artist Prize went to Noor Sokhon for her documentary criticizing the culture of shooting guns in Lebanon, and Hala Ezzedine for her portrait painting of refugees in Lebanon. The Audience Choice Award went to artist Maria Kassab for her photo ‘Le Naufrage Series’ which portrays images of groups of people drowning at sea and attempts to save their lives. The Special Jury Mention went to Balsam Abo Zoor for her paining ‘Time’ in which she tried to freeze time and alleviate its weight on man, and to Alain Vassoyan for his film ‘Broken but Not Dead’. An Nahar wrote that the fact that women won most of the prizes reflects their determination to uncover the truth about serious issues, and to highlight a distinguished dimension of the universality of humanity, as women instill their emotions in the details of their work.
