I strongly believe in our right to be frivolous, 2012-ongoing

Since 2012, Al Solh has been drawing and telling stories derived from one to one conversations with displaced people living in her direct neighborhood; as well as testimonies of refugees, exiled individuals and families. Sketching each individual helps the artist get closer to each person allowing for the discussion to move beyond politics and social/historical events to more personal and private everyday matters. These series of drawings, around 500 so far, are a time and a socio-geographic displacement document.
