سكان الحي يجدون صعوبة في التعرّف عليه وتحديد موقعه بالرغم من أنه ملاصق لبيوتهم، فضخامة المبنى لا تتناسب مع محيط اعتادوه وتطرح أسئلة كثيرة عن كيف صار حقيقة وماذا استبدل.

Mapping place narratives: Beyhum Street
A film by Nadine Bekdache and Juma Hamdo
An image that depicts a futuristic representation of a neighborhood in Beirut is used as a tool to instigate conversations with the current residents of one of its re-imagined alleys. Beyhum Street in Zokak el-Blatt neighborhood has been organically developing since the end of the 19th century, and part of this alley has been continuously inhabited since the 1940s. It is both a place of residence and work (small industries, crafts, shops). A number of adjacent plots within the alley now make up a huge construction site for a new residential tower. Depicted in the futuristic image as complete and ready for habitation, the scale of the building - besides being unrecognizable by the residents - begs for answers as to what it replaced and how it became a reality.
