The mobilisation cycle that started in Lebanon as of the 17th of October 2019 witnessed a widening of the geographies of protests: from squares, highways, main roads intersections, commercial banks, politician’s houses, government buildings, and police stations. In this infographic, we focus on the occupation by protestors of emblematic spaces, notably in the capital, Beirut. Abandoned and previously inaccessible buildings, in addition to privatised coasts, have been continuously reclaimed as public spaces. Similarly, protestors’ marches and collective actions along old demarcation lines, which used to separate “East Beirut” and “West Beirut” during the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990),  have contributed to reversing the stigma of these spaces as crystallising segregation and division, and constructing new narratives for reimagined social unity around these spaces. 
This visual provides an overview of the key protest sites in Beirut which have been reclaimed by protestors.
