A MONOGRAPH BOOK OF
PHOTOGRAPHER RANIA MATAR'S WORK
Lebanon is a country
built upon dichotomies. It is a blend of cultures, poised at the intersection
between the Western and the Arab world. Born in Beirut and living in the West,
photographer Rania Matar is especially attuned to those dichotomies. Here she
honors the lives of the women and children of Lebanon in evocative
black-and-white photographs. They convey the many facets of life, acknowledging
the undeniable presence of war and tragedy, yet celebrating the strength,
dignity, and humanity of lives lived amidst the rubble, in refugee camps, or
behind the veil. The images are universal, powerful reminders of the tender
bond between a mother and child, the cheerful camaraderie of friends, and the
resilience of the human spirit. Accompanying these photographs are excerpts
from the poetry of celebrated Palestinian-American author Lisa Majaj.
