The homeland in my body

An artwork created during a stencil workshop with Tania Saleh at Siena Art Institute

We were prompted during the workshop to talk about a political or social cause that is dear to us. I was struggling then to make sense of all the baggage I’m bringing with me to Italy. The Lebanon daily-life-challenges baggage, that is. I couldn’t explain it better than with the words of Mahmoud Darwish.
