Neons story

In September 2019, Lebanon’s Ministry of Finance commissioned three graphic panels to accompany its investigators’ upcoming presentations to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the U.S. Treasury Department. The task fell to a junior law clerk, a self-described “part-time derivative artist,” Manal B. Tarabay.

Unsurprisingly, her panels sat uncollected in Neon International ’s depots in Fanar where I found and purchased them in 2023.
