Why
The resilient people of South Lebanon and Bekaa have remained steadfast on their land, enduring repeated waves of destruction to their homes, their livelihoods, and the land they call home.
Tickets available from Humanitix.
In light of the recent aggression against Lebanon, which has displaced hundreds of thousands, we have organised a fundraiser to offer support to those affected.
We invite you to an inaugural exhibition and dinner, curated to commemorate Kfarkila—a village of the South, whose soil, olive groves, and people have endured despite every attempt at displacement and erasure. Standing at the gateway to Jabal ‘Amel, Kfarkila remains inseparable from the story of the South, carrying within it generations of memory, sacrifice, and steadfast resilience.
We gather not only to remember, but to affirm that our beloved home lives through us — in our archives, in our art, and in every act of preservation that insists our history is worth telling. Join us as we gather to honour the beauty of the gateway to the South — Kfarkila, her olive trees, and the resilience, culture and legacy of South Lebanon.
Join us on Monday, 8th of June, at 6:30 pm.
