LBCI's Maytham Kassir visited 'The Wishing Fountain - مال عام' and put together a great report for the local station's evening news broadcast. Watch it below.
The Wishing Fountain - مال عام‘The Wishing Fountain – مال عام’ is a public art installation in Hamra Street allowing people of the city to share money with each other while raising awareness about the escalating street beggars phenomenon and the increasing privatization and self-centeredness in urban Lebanon today. "The Wishing Fountain – مال عام" تجهيز فنيّ عام يتيح للناس مشاركة المال في شارع الحمرا، فيما يرفع الوعي حول تنامي ظاهرة المتسولين في الشارع وتزايد الخصخصة والتقوقع على الذات في التركيبة المدنيّة لبيروت اليوم.
