Zoghzoghi, set to take place on May 14th, 2019 starting 7pm, at Brazil-Lebanon Cultural Center, in Achrafieh. Pantanal The Pantanal is the largest continental wetland of the planet, located in the center of South America. It has 210 thousand square kilometers of extension, which is equivalent to the territories of Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, and Holland combined. The region concentrates rich biodiversity. Due to its environmental importance, the biome was declared World Natural Heritage and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2000. Talk: Tuesday \| May 14 \| 7 pm (book your seat – limited places) Exhibition: Monday to Friday \| 10 am – 8 pm until May 15, 2019 Free Entrance Valet Parking Available Info: 01-322 905 Michel Zoghzoghi discovered a passion for photography 12 years ago: he bought a camera to take to a polo tournament organized by a friend in London and has never been able to put it down since. Michel’s photographic focus is on the “endangered”. From the tigers of India to the polar bears of the Arctic, from the mesmerizing landscapes of Africa to the great white sharks of the Southern Oceans, he has traveled the world in search of the vanishing beauty our planet still has to offer. Through his photography, Michel wants to show how truly beautiful our planet is but he also wants to alert people to the fact that it is endangered with many species on the brink of extinction. Michel Zoghzoghi’s achievements include the following: Exhibitions: • Photo London – Tanit Gallery, London, United Kingdom. May 2018 • Cattitude and the Unbearable Lightness of Woofing – Lebanon. November 2018 Awards: • Semi-Finalist: Windland Awards 2018 • Finalist: Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2018 competition Publications: • Book: “Prey” – October 2012 • Book: “Cattitude and the Unbearable Lightness of Woofing” – November 2018 • Numerous magazines including National Geographic Traveler	15	16 Lights and Shadows of Old Saida Lights and Shadows of Old Saida 21:00 -00:00 16/05/2019-18/05/2019 https://bcplebanon.org/blog/event/lights-and-shadows-of-old-saida/ Lights and Shadows in old Saida Exhibition by Naoki Takyo ‘At first, it felt like another visit to an exotic destination, but soon unexpectedly familiar feelings took over. A sight of fresh vegetables and fruits on wagons, the scent of traditional confectioneries, colorful grains and spices in jute bags, a cobbler sharing coffee with his customer, tailors with vintage sewing machines, a man working on wood with manual tools, fishermen mending nets, the elderly watching over little ones playing in an alley illuminated by a streak of sunlight. Traditional and closely-knit community life. Lights and shadows of Old Saida. The scenes reminiscent of my early childhood were still alive inside the ancient walls. I was enchanted. Saida has held a special place in my heart ever since and I keep coming back.

Michel Zoghzoghi discovered a passion for photography 12 years ago: he bought a camera to take to a polo tournament organized by a friend in London and has never been able to put it down since. Michel’s photographic focus is on the “endangered”. From the tigers of India to the polar bears of the Arctic, from the mesmerizing landscapes of Africa to the great white sharks of the Southern Oceans, he has traveled the world in search of the vanishing beauty our planet still has to offer. Through his photography, Michel wants to show how truly beautiful our planet is but he also wants to alert people to the fact that it is endangered with many species on the brink of extinction.
Michel Zoghzoghi’s achievements include the following:
Exhibitions:
• Photo London – Tanit Gallery, London, United Kingdom. May 2018
• Cattitude and the Unbearable Lightness of Woofing – Lebanon. November 2018
Awards:
• Semi-Finalist: Windland Awards 2018
• Finalist: Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2018 competition
Publications:
• Book: “Prey” – October 2012
• Book: “Cattitude and the Unbearable Lightness of Woofing” – November 2018
• Numerous magazines including National Geographic Traveler

Lights and Shadows in old Saida Exhibition by Naoki Takyo
‘At first, it felt like another visit to an exotic destination, but soon unexpectedly familiar feelings took over.
A sight of fresh vegetables and fruits on wagons, the scent of traditional confectioneries, colorful grains and spices in jute bags, a cobbler sharing coffee with his customer, tailors with vintage sewing machines, a man working on wood with manual tools, fishermen mending nets, the elderly watching over little ones playing in an alley illuminated by a streak of sunlight. Traditional and closely-knit community life. Lights and shadows of Old Saida.
The scenes reminiscent of my early childhood were still alive inside the ancient walls. I was enchanted. Saida has held a special place in my heart ever since and I keep coming back. To collect more memories.’
