Post colonialism and the search for identity

By Hardcore Beirut

Post colonialism and the search for identity brings together nine artists and their works conceived, in order to express the local and international situation of humanity. In their multidisciplinary practice, they look at the displacement and oppression faced by minorities. Post colonialism, the historical period or state of affairs representing the aftermath of Western colonialism is reevaluated by the artists. They intent to reclaim and rethink the history and the status of people subordinated under various forms of imperialism. They express the loss of identity and the infinite search for a belonging. They also explore the kind of dreams, hallucinations and psychological symptoms endured by the affected populations.

Be For Beirut

By Hardcore Beirut

When Beirut witnessed the devastating explosion, large number of people lost their homes as a consequence. They didn't just lose their shelter; they lost their safe place where all their memories lie in its corners. Attachment kills. This exactly what happened to our souls when we saw our memories fade into ashes. Humans get attached to their houses, to certain smells, to specific furniture they had chosen. In order to save people's memories or at least part of it, I have initiated a fashion project based on collecting damaged fabric from different demolished areas in Beirut and recycling it. The fabrics were treated before being sewn and stylized.

Forsa Tenye

By Touched by Madness

Due to the fact that prisoners are not having the proper preparation in prisons to help them integrate into society and having encountered a lot of prisoners and hearing their stories, I decided to propose an organization ‘Forsa Tenye’ that will work hand in hand with the government to help prisoners become once again ‘normal’ humans with jobs, families, a life and more. More importantly, this organization is aiming to assist them during and after their prison time.

L’INTERDIT (Roman)

By Joumana Mouawad

"L’Homme qu’elle a aimé si peu de temps, mais passionnément..." C'est l'histoire vraie et touchante d'une passion adultère, d’un amour clandestin qui avait débuté durant l'année 2017, la “Belle Époque”. C’était l’année de leur rencontre, bien avant sa rupture avec Beyrouth et avec la femme qui l’a tant aimé. Yvan était l’interdit, le secret, la passion, l’amour que Romy avait tant désiré et qui lui était sien pendant une brève période de sa vie. Un soir du mois de Mai, elle était accompagnée d’une proche amie, dans un bar de la ruelle qui abrite le toit de cet homme, son appartement et leurs futurs souvenirs. Il est entré dans ce lieu régulièrement fréquenté par eux deux, mais le hasard a voulu qu’au cours de cette soirée, il serait d’une ambiance différente et qu’un bonheur court allait se tracer dans leur vie, qu’ils allaient savourer l’interdit. Yvan et Romy se sont retrouvés emballés dans une passion secrète et charnelle incontrôlable, dans l'ombre, loin des regards, dans leur ville, Beyrouth. Ils ne devaient pas franchir la porte de l’interdit, et pourtant, la passion l'avait emporté, l'intensité des sentiments, et le désir de l'autre prenaient le dessus jusqu’à en perdre la raison.
