Frida Chehlaoui performed her songs and songs-in-progress next to The Wishing Fountain. In addition to the money collected in the fountain's lap, to be shared by Beirut, Frida stirred up this little segment of Hamra for a good half hour. The kids joined on percussions. A boring café-goer asked them to stop. One passing garbage man had a brief 'mawwal' interlude, and a young musician was recruited for a future intervention.

    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.
