Rania Matar, Fifty Years Later
Lebanon is still suffering from the consequences of the civil war that began fifty years ago.

Born in Lebanon in 1964, the American photographer dedicates her series to the women of the country: images capturing their presence, creativity, strength, dignity and resilience are representative of the hopes, dreams and fears of a whole generation.
