Beirut

We, Alex Shams, Rehanna Farah and Lioba Hirsch, created this video in order to play and shed light on the common prejudices and images that many people and mainly women of African and South East Asian origin suffer from while living and working in Lebanon. It displays a scene commonly experienced while walking through the streets of Beirut: Sexual and Racial Harassment through Lebanese men and boys. The main character is walking down a street and getting harassed and starred at from men and women walking around her. She gets calls, sniffs and one of the harassers even tries to touch her.
