Dr. Zeina Maasri is Senior Lecturer in Global Visual Culture at the University of Bristol. She is the author of the award-winning Cosmopolitan Radicalism: The Visual Politics of Beirut’s Global Sixties (Cambridge University Press, 2020) and Off the Wall: Political Posters of the Lebanese Civil War (IB Tauris, 2009), and co-editor of Transnational Solidarity: Anticolonialism in the Global Sixties (Manchester University Press, 2022).
