Lost photos from the Arab world

Artist Ania Dabrowska was working at a homeless shelter in London in 2010 when Diab Alkarssifi walked in with two carrier bags, containing thousands of photographic prints. His collection of found images from studios in Baalbeck, Beirut, Damascus and Cairo included photographs of society, family and friends, and different side of life in the Arabic world. The pair told us more. "A Lebanese Archive" by Ania Dabrowska is being published next year by Book Works and the Arab Image Foundation.
