#81 Tom Young – painting the war wounds in Beirut
Manage episode 232623134 series 1156192
In the middle of Beirut stands a skeleton of the grim Lebanese civil war, the Holiday Inn, once a luxury hotel and now a bullet-ridden reminder of unhealed wounds. Tom Young is a British artist painting its memories – and possible future – as a way of healing.
What impact does such a building have on the city and could it be a place for remembrance in a possible future, or is this to be the great exhibition that never happened? And why did Tom Young feel immediatly at home here?
