Street art brings colour and joy to Beirut slum
Project to breathe new life into neglected area brings together local and overseas artists, as well as residents

Artists taking part in the "Ouzville" project have painted walls in brilliant blues, reds, yellows and greens, adorning others with enormous murals, doodles, and cartoon characters.
