We began planning this exhibition four days before Israel and the United States attacked Iran, triggering a dangerous new phase of regional war.

Since then, attacks on Lebanon have intensified. Around 1 million people have been displaced, including 200,000 children, and nearly 1,000 have been killed.

The horrors unfolding around us are impossible to ignore. Yet they make it even more urgent to continue educating and showing the work of an artist, Nabil Kanso, who dedicated his entire life to confronting the brutality of war and refusing to look away.

Today, the cycles he painted are repeating once again.
Perhaps the saddest truth is that this would not have surprised him.

Inside the private home of Dr. Basel Dalloul.

A personal space shaped by years of collecting, living with art, and building a daily relationship with each work. This is how art moves beyond institutions, becoming part of routine and the way a home is lived in.

A rare look into how one of the region’s most important collections exists in real life.
