Leave something of sweetness and substance in the mouth of the world.
–Anna Belle Kaufman
Another beautiful edition of the Obelisque Magazine 2020 just hit the bookstores in Cairo! As usual it is full of articles that span subjects on architecture to heritage to travel. My contributions to the magazine this year are: “Portrait of a Glassmaker” (the second article of a 2 part series, the first in Obelisque 2019) and Street Art: “Mohammed Laz-Ogli.”
Street Art: “Mohammed Laz-Ogli.”
All Photographs and text are under international copyright laws. No re-use without the permission of Lesley Lababidi 2023.

Thank you for your message. Are you in the USA? Let me know where you are to send the Obelisque. I had a knee replacement last year so did not send out magazines. L.
I won’t be sending magazines from Egypt because the cost is too high now. I will wait until in Europe or in the USA. L.
