Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Public Space Enthusiasts,

The festival is organized by RectoVerso from 16 to 20 November 2010 at the UNESCO Palace; the opening ceremony is under the patronage of Dr. Tarek Mitri, Minister of Information.
FoLAB will feature over 800 titles of Lebanese art books, and At the Edge of the City will have a signing session on Wednesday 17 November at 7:00 PM. I hope you can join us and enjoy the festival, especially those who didn’t have a look at our work on Beirut’s public space.
