In search for Justice among the rubble
Public Works Studio
Beirut
In the aftermath of the Israeli war (October 8, 2023 – November 27, 2024), Lebanon faces unprecedented destruction, exacerbated by the economic crisis and the lack of a reconstruction plan.
Public Works documents the impact of the attacks and opens processes that question the urban justice to come. The exhibition reveals how the occupation aimed to erase not only structures but also places, their symbols, and their narratives.
Three axes run through it: To Gather, bring together residents and stories in spaces of collective memory; To Return, map the razed villages and explore forms of resistance against scorched earth policies; To Repair, think of repair as a social and environmental act, beyond material reconstruction, through community initiatives and innovations accessible to all.
