In a time marked by uncertainty, disruption, and continuous change, Nevertheless brings together a group of artists whose practices persist amid a fragile and shifting landscape.
Rather than offering a direct response to current events, the exhibition reflects on the quiet act of continuing. Through painting, drawing, collage, assemblage, and mixed media, the participating artists engage with questions of memory, presence, resilience, and transformation. The works emerge from different perspectives and artistic languages, yet they share a commitment to making, reflecting, and enduring despite interruption.
Without announcement or ceremony, Nevertheless creates a space for contemplation. It acknowledges the tensions that shape daily life while foregrounding the gestures, materials, and processes through which artists continue to work. In this context, each mark, layer, and form becomes an act of persistence, an affirmation of creative practice in the face of instability.
The exhibition features works by Haibat Balaa Bawab, Georges Bassil, Wissam Beydoun, Zouhair Dabbagh, Mansour El Habre, Layla Dagher, Imad Fakhry, Ghada Jamal, Dyala Khodary, Rafik Majzoub, and Edgard Mazigi.
A particular highlight of the exhibition is the monumental mural by Ghada Jamal from her series Point, Line, Horizon, a body of work shaped by reflections on memory, resilience, and the enduring impact of the Lebanese Civil War. Through layered compositions and subtle visual language, the series examines the traces left by personal and collective histories, while offering a space for reflection and renewal. Given the continued relevance of these themes, the work resonates strongly with contemporary audiences and conversations surrounding memory, identity, hope, and recovery.
