Artbooth in collaboration with ABC Art Space Verdun are pleased to invite you to their collective exhibition Survivors Ability.

Our city was destroyed and rebuilt seven times, a resilient city that never dies, with remnants of 5000 years of successive civilizations. Originally called Beroth, “City of Wells” by the Canaanite, the city was later named Berytus when it was conquered by the Romans.

Beirut flourished in the 60s and early 70s; it became a center of attraction and a cultural, educational, medical and business hub.

After witnessing a civil war that broke out in 1975 and lasted 15 years, the Lebanese people stood up once again and rebuilt their shattered homes and lives.

Each street in Beirut has its own identity and tells its own story: Beirut is a city of diversity, a real source of inspiration … the city where most of our artists in this exhibition live. By staring at their artworks, you will no doubt experience a different range of emotions due to the constant instability we live in; happiness, sadness, beauty, chaos, peace …

Since 2020, Lebanon has been on the brink of collapse; the capital’s port hit by one of the world’s biggest non-nuclear explosions, a deep economic crisis with no end in sight, the Covid-19 pandemic … Despite all this, with our creativity and art, we aim to keep spreading messages of positivity and love from Beirut to every person fighting for his basic human rights.

Featured in this exhibition are works by artists Hussein Baalbaki, Lara Zankoul, Mohannad Orabi, Bruno Sfeir, Barana Saadat, Jean-Marc Nahas, Louma Rabah, Caleen Ladki, Youssef Youssef, Joseph Matar, Noor Bahjat, Benoit Debbane, Mireille Merhej and David Daoud that will take your artistic experience to new heights.
