Forget Me Not: South Lebanon in Memory and Motion

This exhibition brings together photography, film, and personal storytelling to reflect on South Lebanon - Across 6 floor- its land, its people, and the threads that continue to bind them across borders and generations.
Proceeds will be split between initiatives in Saida and Houla for displaced residents.

Opening Night: 27th March will feature a talk from the photographers.

Saturday 28th: Will be open from 11am-8pm

29th March-8th April; will be open from 9am-9pm from the 2nd floor and above.

Through a collection of photographs, the exhibition traces the layered history of the region: villages shaped by resilience, landscapes marked by occupation, and communities that have endured cycles of displacement while holding tightly to memory and identity. The images move between past and present; documenting everyday life, fragments of history, and the quiet persistence of culture.

Alongside the photography, a short film explores the experience of the Lebanese diaspora and the journeys that have carried families far from their homeland. Centered on intergenerational migration, the film asks how culture survives distance: how language, food, music, stories, and traditions are passed from grandparents to parents to children who may have never walked the same soil. It is a reflection on inheritance; not of land, but of belonging.

Together, the exhibition and film consider what it means to remain rooted when geography changes. They explore the ways memory travels, how identity is shaped across generations, and how communities continue to keep their connection to South Lebanon alive, through storytelling, ritual, and the determination not to forget.

This is not only an exhibition about place. It is about continuity, about diaspora, and about the enduring relationship between people and the land they come from - even when they are far away from it.
