A project about shared and communal spaces in Sidon, specifically the coastal areas and the changes they are undergoing. With the participation of a group of young men and women from Sidon, the project consisted of a research phase where participants collected stories and historical narratives about Sidon’s coast and its public spaces. At a later stage, the group created site-specific performances that culminated into an event open for everyone in Kinayat Bahr site in northern Sidon, where audiences were invited to experience any or all of the performances. These performances are the result of many workshops, debates and writings carried out by each of the project participants, and aimed at collectively discussing the right of access to the sea as well as the future of Sidon city.
