LEBANON 1960 -1975 — A PHOTOGRAPHIC HARVEST BEFORE THE STORM
Apr 30–May 5, 2019
NYAC
The photos that are assembled in this exhibition represent a variety of ‘moments’, all belonging to a time that we commonly refer to nowadays as the ‘golden period’ of Lebanon, a period when the new republic was relatively still in its youth, exhibiting signs of cosmopolitanism in its capital city, while preserving the original beauty of its landscape, of its villages, and its traditions.
Bassam Lahoud is an architect and a member of the Order of Engineers and Architects of Beirut. He is also a professional photographer, member of the Press Photographer Syndicate and the Union Catholique Internationale de Presse in Lebanon. He is the chair of “ESCWA arts council” at the United Nations, a founding member of the magazine “Prestige”, and founder and president of “the Lebanese House of Photography”.
