July Arrives, time for the festival

It was with much anticipation that we flew back to Beirut before travelling onto Byblos and Rachana to meet everyone again. While the weather was quite pleasant in May it was now 38C and very humid.

The competing teams were from five Lebanese Universities: two fine art groups and three who were studying architecture. My task was to mentor them all throughout the event and help guide them through the process of creating land art installations. It was going to be a very busy time as I also needed to  create my own installation for the final day, conduct many interviews for the press and TV whilst visiting all the student groups dotted around the village.​
