Our Database of Public Art Practices is an on-going research project archiving public art interventions that have taken place in Lebanon from 1980 to present day.
Olive tree
Dalia Baassiri
I bathe a small olive tree with native handcrafted soap, a perpetuation of my practice of documenting ritualistic acts of cleansing as testaments of care. Much like the gentle cleansing of a departed one before being laid to rest, I pay homage to the tens of thousands of olive trees that have been an intentional target in an ongoing war.
