Intimate Garden Scene (in Beirut)
This exhibition is organized by Ashkal Alwan as part of the first chapter of Home Works 9: A Forum on Cultural Practices.
Intimate Garden Scene (in Beirut) revisits forms of critical artmaking in Lebanon from the 1990s onward. The title is a reference to Ashkal Alwan's inaugural project, at Sanayeh Garden, Beirut (1995). The exhibition draws on lived experiences and acts of writing a subjective history and prompts us to consider what it means to tend to Lebanon's recent woes from the vantage point of everyday life. An accompanying film program will run bi-weekly starting in January 2024.
