Libya, Tripoli: Breakdancers are practising in an unused baskeball hall.

LIBYA, TRIPOLI: The b-boying scene in Libya started around 1999-2000 and is now since Qaddafi's death gaining new momentum. More and more young guys are starting to break dance and doing parcour. It is a way of expressing their feelings, rebelling against conservatism and also staying sane in times of constant political turmoil and violence. Break dancers practice in this old basket ball hall several times a week. Photo Claudia Wiens
