Birds have deserted the South sky

Boom… Boom

To annoy the peace fans, those who are leaving their houses for the first time in the direction of the North. From Marjeyun to Kobeyyat?

I am today unemployed because i am an art critic, and in war times, arts don’t flourish. No sculptures, paintings or installations are exposed.

kk art is not sacrificed during the war. Such a tragedy can actually bring out the raw and true emotions of all its victims thus transforming people into artists and helping those already in the business find more inspiration.

Laure, I love your work and Mazen's. I can only hope I will be able to run into you in one of these expositions you're talking about. Until then, stay strong.

there is an exhibition that opened in Espace SD just a few days before the attacks started. no one got to see it, but it's still there. mazen's work is there. so is my installation. maybe when there is a ceasefire, we can have have the opening we never had.

our art scene in beirut is a glorious one. but no one may hear about it if you do not continue to write about it.

artists are making work even now. we have found ways to adapt. as predominantly an installation artist, i find it hard for me to work with that specific medium right now, so i have turned to writing.

today, writing is my art. but, maybe tomorrow i will go to my studio and glue some things together.

with love,
zena el-khalil
