About

The exhibition explores the entangled relation of Beirut and its port, from a maritime gateway to contested grounds. Through archival material, models, installations, and proposals, the exhibition invites reflection on the port’s shifting role in the life of the city.

Join us in this collective inquiry to reflect, remember, and reimagine.
