Comic artist and musician Mazen Kerbaj keeps a visual diary of a week in Lebanon’s embattled capital.
For more of Kerbaj’s works visit mazenkerblog.blogspot.com and/or www.kerbaj.com.
This visual diary features in the Media & Technology section of Chimurenga Vol. 16: The Chimurenga Chronic (available here).
Set in the week 18-24 May 2008, the Chronic, imagines the newspaper as a producer of time – a time-machine – which travels backwards and forwards, to place these events within a broader context and thereby to challenge the logic of emergencies and immediate needs that characterise contemporary African media.
