Summary
This is a study of how visuality, art, design and politics intersect under global configurations of postcolonial historical conditions. It probes the particularity of this nexus in the context of Beirut’s ‘long’ 1960s, focusing specifically on printed matter to interrogate its role in the modern everyday.
