Photojournalist STEFAN CHRISTOFF will be displaying a series of striking 
photographs captured throughout Lebanon in 2005 & 2006 at Montreal's Sablo 
Café, from mid-April until the end of May 2007. Christoff's images bring to 
life the realities of life and struggle from Lebanon utilizing sharp artistic 
edges and beautiful colors.

From the streets of Beirut to the open skies of south Lebanon, Christoff's 
photos outline sketches realities of life in Lebanon. The photographs convey 
the human realities of a nation facing major political upheaval in recent 
years, marked by massive street demonstrations, international political 
intervention & a devastating Israeli military attack in 2006.

Christoff's images also document the social and political conditions of 
Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon. From the Palestinian refugee camps of 
Ain el-Hilweh in southern Lebanon, to Burj el-Barajneh in the southern suburbs 
of Beirut, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees live in exile as a 
result of the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.
