La vie en rose

December 2016. In the archives of the MACAM (sculpture museum) in Byblos, Beirut, Lebanon. Yet another poster for the famous “international poster exhibitions” in Baghdad. 1982, three years after Saddam Hussein came to power and in the middle of the Iran-Iraq war. Almost impossible now, with the uninterrupted destruction, to imagine all those poster artists and designers from the Arab world meeting in Baghdad. All in the pink, like the pink of this poster, like the golden age. Life in the pink like this poster, pink like the golden age.
