Today’s episode on Reel Talk features an interesting and in-depth interview with British artist Tom Young who currently lives in Lebanon. Tom’s work depicts the stark contrast between Lebanon’s beauty and tragic crises over the past few years, often exhibited in old buildings which he tries to preserve and bring back to life.
In this episode, we discover why Tom came to Lebanon, the reasons for not leaving despite all the difficulties, his renowned paintings and exhibitions across Lebanon, from the Hamam Al-Jadeed in Saida to the Rose House. We also uncover the real truth behind Lebanon’s independence and the historic women’s march that took place, all while Tom shares his love, affection, admiration, respect and concern for Lebanon’s past, present and future.
