| THE PLACE THAT REMAINS Re – Opening at Beit Beirut from February 10 to March 20, 2022 |
| Opening Hours: Thursday to Sunday, 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. Other opening hours for groups and students on reservation In light of our current and multiscale crisis, it is very timely to consider our territory and its scarce resources as the most critical assets to be preserved. The Place That Remains is a reflection on our complex relationship to nature. It describes our territory as “the last monument” and unfolds the remaining treasures in its agricultural lands, forests, unbuilt spaces, water resources, and public networks. The exhibition was first presented in 2018 at the Venice Architecture Biennale, as a protest against the commodification of the land, and in commemoration of the great famine of 1918. The exhibition is curated and designed by architect Hala Younes in collaboration with the Directorate of Geographic Affairs of the Lebanese Army. Focusing on the valley of Nahr Beirut, the format includes a 3D relief, aerial photography, and photographic works by Gregory Buchakjian, Catherine Cattaruzza, Gilbert Hage, Houda Kassatly, Talal Khoury, and Ieva Saudergaité. |
