About

Micro Middle East is a blog founded by Zein Masri and Nasma Kawar. Being well informed about global and regional matters in politics, art, and cinema, the founders noticed that media coverage on the Middle East hasn't been given the recognition and attention by a global audience. Not only has the media belittled Middle Eastern creativity and skill, but has also frenzied our generation leaving them with no credible sources to attain the latest news and information. Thus, the exigence for creating this blog is our frustration as students, but also as members of our community. Our blog aims to investigate all things Middle East! Cinema, art, music, and culture are some of the many areas that we dive deep into, with the goal of representing our beloved culture.
