Beirut: Eternal Recurrence at Canvas

Canvas is presenting an exhibition called 'Beirut: Eternal Recurrence,' which explores the Lebanese city from various fragmented viewpoints. Curated by Amin Alsaden, Jason St-Laurent, and Amar A. Zahr, the show features works from twelve artists, including Ziad Antar, Marwa Arsanios, and Mona Hatoum, among others. The title of the exhibition draws from Jalal Toufic's thoughts on eternal recurrence, highlighting how crises challenge human strength. The artworks focus on ongoing battles and repetitive behaviors, featuring looping videos that trigger a sense of déjà vu and trauma reflection. This event kicks off a series that will highlight cities through the eyes of contemporary creators.
