Ashekman

Considered among the early adopters of Arabic calligraphy in street art, ASHEKMAN is an Arabic street art group that started in 2001 in Beirut, Lebanon by identical twin brothers Omar and Mohamed Kabbani. Born in the midst of the Lebanese civil war in the early 80's, the twins witnessed several wars in 3 decades that made them organically start a platform; which they called ASHEKMAN. They made it their mission to revive Arabic culture in an urban context and continuously spread a message of peace and tolerance.
