Performance Art in Lebanon

Live art and Action Art in Lebanon.

الفن الحي وفن الحركة في لبنان.

Art vivant et Art d’action au Liban.

In the setting of the current Arab art boom and the political flux ignited by regional uprisings, the difficulty in differentiating between performance art and activism increases, further intertwining the abstract borders that divide them. Nonetheless, while activism pushes its way as a societal form of rejection, performance art conversely sneaks into the social sphere as an accepted method of protest, encouraged by the public as a sign of cultural sophistication.
