A photograph taken during Lebanon s October 2019 revolution shows a man sitting on a chair perched on a toppled rubbish bin in the middle of the street. The Lebanese flag is tossed over his shoulder like a cape. A satellite dish is balanced upright by his side like a shield, slogans of protest scrawled across it.
A large group of people are gathered behind the man. Some are wearing gas masks, others keffiyehs, and are wielding the Lebanese flag. Some
are simply standing by fiery dustbins
, defiant and insistent on bringing about change in a country devastated by years of endemic corruption.
