Beirut-based multimedia artist Katya A. Traboulsi presents Perpetual Identities an exhibition that explores the concept of identity as a force that persists even in the face of war. The inspiration for the project comes from Traboulsi’s personal experience during the Lebanese Civil War when she received an empty sleeve of a mortar shell as a birthday gift. This object, symbolising destruction, became her trophy. In 2014, reflecting on the shell, Katya embarked on an installation project that aimed to reframe the morbid nature of the mortar shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the show, Traboulsi has designed 46 shells that are adorned with the arts and crafts of various countries. The shells are handmade by artisans using materials like ceramics, porcelain, resin, wood, and iron and serve as a symbol of destruction and renewal throughout history. The exhibition also features Traboulsi’s collection of painted rear doors of trucks, titled ‘Rej3a ya mama.’ This collection pays tribute to the truck drivers of Tripoli, Lebanon, who bridge regions and lives regardless of religious or political differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guadeloupean painter Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux\u2019s solo show features a collection of new artworks that build upon the artist’s existing work. Deloumeaux lives and works between Paris and West Africa yet the memories of his homeland, Guadeloupe, are a continued presence in his artistic output. Deloumeaux has recently finished an extensive residency in Ivory Coast and Senegal, infusing his work with the cultural fusion unique to the Black Atlantic. Through his large-scale works on canvases, Deloumeaux captures a generation in motion, foregrounding both his photographer friends and local acquaintances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
