I follow Great Big Story religiously, it’s one of the best video channels online and their stories are simply amazing. I’m also a big fan of Yazan’s work and it’s pretty awesome to see him featured on Great Big Story.
He’s referred to as the “Banksy of Beirut” but I am not really sure how accurate this analogy is. In fact, Yazan even commented on the video stating that “he thinks the the comparison stems from a positive intention to compliment the artwork, but it is inappropriate as the work is not the same in terms of technique, tone, objectives and process. He prefers it when they call him the Yazan Halwani of Beirut.”
Check out the video:
funny, you mentioned great big story regarding Yazan yet he was featured yesterday in l’orient le jour
1- I don’t believe it is a coincidence, but still no big deal
2- you could be more supportive of local journalists rather than mention a 2-year old video
You’re unveiled my secret plot. Bravo lol!
