Beirut is a new art initiative and exhibition space that considers institution building as a curatorial act. “We are constantly trying to think outside of existing protocols that approach a definition of what art is”, Beirut’s co-founder and director Jens Maier-Rothe and Sarah Rifky tell us. Beirut is a forum through which the local, regional, and international community of artists, workers, poets, writers, filmmakers, activists, architects, thinkers and students can share their affinities and social sentiments, staking new grounds and taking up critical positions to reflect on this new and open situation.
