Lebanon Gallery

Espace SD Gallery & Arab Image Foundation Beirut, Lebanon. February 2007. This workshop was developed as part of Moving Walls: A Documentary Photography Exhibition. An international exhibition curated and sponsored by the Open Society Institute a private operating and grant making foundation based in New York City. Gary Fabiano, whose photographs "Property" are included in the exhibition, taught a four-day workshop to twelve photographers. Lebanon has a strong history of photography and the participants came to the workshop from varying backgrounds in the medium, from art to photojournalism. All shared in common a firm belief in the importance of documentary photography and in record keeping. Gary asked each participant to pick one story idea and for most, the time spent working on their stories during the workshop, was just the beginning of what will be long-term projects. By the final day, after intense photography and editing sessions, the participants had sufficiently developed their stories to be able to show the work in a public projection held at the Espace SD gallery.
