George Zeenny has been active in the cultural arena for the last three decades in Lebanon, Europe and North America. His prolific career has involved many changes of hats. Zeenny has been a restaurateur, an art critic, an art promoter, a professor, a producer, a writer and a curator.

If there is a single underlying theme to the last thirty years be it organizing the work – Makhoul Street Festival or commemorating the martyrs of Qana – it is his profound love and celebration of the beauty and diversity of his home country – Lebanon.

Piastres from Paradise attempts to explore money in all its guises: money as a cultural signifier, money as a historical document, and money as an aesthetic creation. In doing so, a little-known aspect of money is revealed: money as a common denominator and uniting force.
