Revolutionary Art Wall Beirut

Art of change

"The "Revolutionary Art Wall" in Beirut was created in October 2019, during the revolution. Since then, the artists' message & creativity keep inspiring..."

Wherever you go in Beirut you’ll realize there's graffiti on the walls all around, most of them hiding subliminal messages. Art has always been a way for the Lebanese people to express their rage and point of view. When the revolution started, revolutionary art was a must for this generation’s artists to express themselves in a calm yet powerful way, to demand change and inspire hope. So from there, the revolutionary art wall was created.

The art wall is located in downtown Beirut, on Riad el Solh, and was created back in October 2019, when a bunch of rising Lebanese artists went with their buckets of paint expressing their anger so peacefully with nothing but creativity and art. In my opinion, dissent art plays an important part in keeping people inspired, giving them hope and reminding them why they came to the streets and started a revolution in the first place.

These artworks will never die, they show freedom of expression, with each art piece differing in style and technique, illustrating the events of Beirut’s revolution.

Persian Cup

A Hidden Gem

Their specialty dessert, Persian love cake, is a concoction of cardamon, pistachio, and zest of lemon. It tasted as delicious as it looked.

L'Appartement

Bistro Bar

Make sure to try the beetroot carpaccio and the tomato bruschetta as snacks. Their signature cocktails are delicious and I also fancy their minted lemonade.

Emotions

Pâtisserie & Artisan Glacier

My favorite treat at Emotions is the "chausson au citron" - lemon turnover, which tastes simply yummylicious: not too lemony or sour, not too sweet, not too small.

Meet The Veganz

Vegan "Junk" Food

Make sure to try their Bitchin Friez, they are crunchy and cheesy. And the cheezy bites are scrumptious, just the way I love them. You got it, I am a cheese fan!

Karim's Training Facility

Boutique Sports Studio

Karim's Training Facility is located underground and the hanging mirrors make the space look larger than it is. The premises are regularly sanitized, and this is essential for someone like me.
