The Madani Project' takes shape as a series of thematic exhibitions, publications and videos centered on Hashem El Madani and his archive.  Hashim El Madani's photographic work is tied to the city of Saida in South Lebanon where he has worked for over 55 years and founded Studio Shehrazade. Motivated by the wish to expand his business, he set out to expand his business, he set out to become the collector of portraits of all Saida's families. He also photographed people in the studio, on the street, at home, in places of work, promenades and sometimes during out-of-city excursions. His unique archive reflects the very fabric of an Arab town in the middle of the 20th century.
