وين الكهربا

Abstract

Like any other public-owned institutions, EDL (Electricite du Liban ( is a corrupted institution, where they don’t respect their citizens nor provide them with their rights, nor electricity. Electricity is one of our most basic daily needs. Especially today, everything revolves around electricity. Our corrupted system and our politicians are the reason why we’re not having electricity 24/7. We can have it though, but we don’t. Now what? I am, as much as you وين الكهربا؟ :are, disgusted and repelled from this mockery we live in. Therefore, I have decided to come up with a campaign is a campaign mocking public institutions and their ignorance towards us and our rights. My campaign target especially Lebanese Electricity and their ”وين الكهربا؟“ lack of concern and investment in this country. As the designer of “وين الكهربا؟”, I decided to align my campaign to what’s happening since the 17th of October. Throughout this project, you’ll see that participating is a “fun” and enriching experience as well as a useful way to raise our voice and tackle this issue of electricity. This campaign is based on a street intervention in the city of Beirut. This street intervention requires Stencils and Glow in the dark paint. In fact, you’ll be able to paint on walls or any surface you desire (وين الكهربا؟ and other elements shaping this campaign(. These interventions are meant to be done at night, and it’s only visible at night. During the day nothing will show, in fact, after the exposure to intense lighting or to the sunlight, the paint will glow in the dark. This approach will emphasize and show the abundance of dark streets in Beirut as well as useless turned off poles. It will also be a nice way to discover the hidden gems of Beirut city. It’s an open campaign, anyone is welcome to join. It will also bring the Lebanese closer to each other.
