    February 2, 2020, just marked the Lebanese Creativity Day, a celebration created by the artists of the Revolution and that promises to become an annual national one.

    More than 200 artists, painters, and sculptors contributed with their creative expressions, reflecting strong statements that the people of the revolution are not giving up. 

    #1 The Silenced Lebanese

    A very expressive artwork, indeed, by Batool Jacob, an award-winning artist from Tripoli. It shows the pain of a struggling Lebanese individual, oppressed by the capital control measures, at a time in which the people endure a harsh economic crisis.

    A Lebanese commented on social media, “It summarizes the cause of our current tragedy.”

    #2 Rejected Lebanese Passport

    A striking creative art stating a bitter reality. Has the artist meant to express her/his rejection of the government system as it is, or the rejection Lebanese nationals have been facing from other countries? It is left to interpretation. 

    #3 The Eye of the Revolution
