ASHEKMAN
2001
ASHEKMAN is an Arabic street art group that was started in 2001 in Beirut Lebanon by identical twin brothers Omar and Mohamed Kabbani. Its mission is to revive the Arabic culture in an urban context, to bring back the golden Arab age when poetry, science, and knowledge were exported and translated to all cultures and, finally, to spread a positive message of tolerance.
