2 main taggers sought   —

When an artist creates, they communicate something that can only be
understood through the piece when viewed as the artist intended. When
someone comes along and places something into the work, it’s meaning can
be lost forever. With restoration that meaning can still be 
communicated.

Kobani Syria and Street Art in Beriut - Street I Am

Kobani to Beirut and ISIS culture war   —

ISIS – A controversial contribution to culture  –

Why is the battle for at Kobani in Syria, considered so important to
so many? Partly because the Kurdish culture is in opposition
theoretically to that of the ISIS, or ISIL  (if you prefer) theocracy.
Also of course, because the Kurds are the only culture in the area with a
military strong enough to delay ISIS or stop them at this point. But
stop them from what? What is their goal? What would change? How does
this Caliphate quest, put at risk the renaissance of expression in
Beirut?
