‘In Beirut, a city shaped by migration and diversity, the idea of belonging reflects the complex relationship between identity, displacement, and finding one’s place in the world.’
Art lovers are invited to experience All the Places We Belong from June 24 to July 3 at Arthaus Beirut in Gemmayze during the Beirut Art Days 3rd edition organized by Agenda Culturel. Exploring themes of identity, memory, and connection, the exhibition reflects on the many places we call home, from Beirut and beyond, and the universal human search for belonging across cultures and communities.
Artists of Beirut proudly presents its Season 7 thematic collection centered around the concept of belonging. The exhibition opens on Wednesday, June 24, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and will remain on view through July 3, daily from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
