Issue 003 (June/ July 2008) is out!

The June/ July 2008 Special Edition of Sowar Magazine (Snapshots from the Lebanese Civil War 1975-1990) is out. You can flip through the sample below for a glimpse.

As part of a “Let us not Forget” campaign, the magazine asked nine highly renowned photographers who lived during that period to send in some of their best shots. Those photographers include:

• Maher Attar (website)
  
• Bill Foley (website)
  
• Jean Guichard (website)
  
• Harry Koundakjian (email)
  
• Roger Moukarzel (website)
  
• Saleh Rifai (email)
  
• Pierre Sabbagh (email)
  
• Claude Salhani (website)
  
• Souheil Semaan (website)
  

The intent of the initiative was to present images that serve as a reminder of the horrors of war so that they are not repeated, particularly as Lebanon passes through a politically-charged period. The edition is dedicated to those who lost, and still are losing, their lives in an unfair and unjust cause.
