i=intervention, collaborations with local artists to intervene/perform next to The Wishing Fountain, and use it as their coin-bucket. the money generated from each intervention/performance and collected in The Wishing Fountain's lap is considered public money and is available to anyone in need. If you are interested in performing, please drop me a line rmajzoub@236m3.com or give me a call 03918291
Joan Baz passed by The Wishing Fountain and decided to give out illustrated receipts to passersby in return for their wishes/coins. She will continue to experiment with her newfound role as the fountain's bookkeeper throughout the month. Check out the .gif below for some of the quick portraits/receipts.

    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.
