RELEASE OF TOGETHER BY FADIA AHMAD -FEATURE DOCUMENTARY SOLO EXHIBITION “BETWEEN TWO SHADES OF BLUE”
FADIA AHMAD PRESENTS TWO MAJOR WORKS THIS DECEMBER: THE DOCUMENTARY TOGETHER & THE SOLO EXHIBITION BETWEEN TWO SHADES OF BLUE
This December, Lebanese photographer and filmmaker Fadia Ahmad unveils two significant artistic projects in Beirut, each exploring memory, identity, and human connection through a distinct yet deeply intertwined lens. ⸻ I. TOGETHER DOCUMENTARY FILM SCREENING December 8, 9 & 10 at 8pm Venue: Metropolis Cinema Languages: Arabic, French, English With Together, Fadia Ahmad returns to the intimate terrain of human relationships. Through delicate observation and emotional honesty, the film explores the invisible threads that hold people together: tenderness, fragility, authenticity, and the quiet courage it takes to remain connected in a fractured world. Shot across multiple cultures, Together is an ode to the universal longing to be seen and understood. It is a reflection on what binds us, what breaks us, and what is possible when we meet each other with presence and vulnerability. ⸻ II. BETWEEN TWO SHADES OF BLUE SOLO PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION Opening: December 12 at No Chef In The Kitchen from 5pm till 9pm Between the two lands, lies the sea. A living blue scar that connects instead of separating. A sea that carries all memories, all languages, all departures. In this new body of work, Fadia Ahmad returns to the Mediterranean, the place of her origin and her exile, the space where two identities meet in a continual ebb and flow.
Born far from her homeland, on the opposite shore of the sea, Ahmad grew up with words that “had different sounds, different colors, different skies.” Yet the horizon always carried a promise: “beyond this line lies Lebanon”, her mother would say. These photographs exist between two shades of blue: between departure and return, between belonging and wandering, between the self she inherited and the self she became. Today, I know there’s so much more, she writes. There’s all of humanity, all the shores, and at the center, there’s you… you and me, between two shades of blue. The exhibition is a lyrical meditation on borders, memory, and the sea as both wound and bridge, a place where identity is continuously washed, rebuilt, and reimagined. A DIALOGUE BETWEEN FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY Presenting both a major film and a major photographic exhibition within the same month forms a rare opportunity to witness the scope of her artistic universe. Where together examines the internal landscapes of human bonds, Between Two Shades of Blue turns outward to the geography of longing. Both works ultimately converge on one essential truth: we are connected by love, by history, by oceans, by the fragile hope that ties us to one another.
