As part of the celebration marking its 70th anniversary in Lebanon, the Goethe-Institut Libanon will present a showcase of artworks entitled “Silence in Plastic” by Baha’ Souki at Rebirth Beirut, Gemmayze, on view from November 1st till November 4th, 2025.
Baha’ Souki is a visual artist based in Lebanon. Working across painting, photography, and video, his practice investigates how perception, memory, and material presence inform our understanding of place and self. With the support of the Goethe-Institut Libanon’s Cultural Grant, Al-MU7AFFIZ, the artist was able to expand his practice, experimenting with new mediums and materials, and further developing his artistic vision in ways that had previously been unexplored.
Don’t miss this glimpse into an ongoing project by Baha’ exploring how industrial expansion reshapes both landscape and memory. Living amid plastic factories and constant mechanical noise, the artist reflects on how artificial materials define our sense of place and silence. This selection presents works from a larger body that will be exhibited in full at a later stage.
Opening hours:
Weekdays: 11am to 7pm
Saturday: 2pm to 7pm
Rebirth Beirut, Gemmayze
