Dr. Claire Launchbury is showcasing her photo series featuring analogue photographs taken in Beirut, Lebanon, in September 2023. The exhibition will be held at the John Henry Brookes building in The Executive Suit from 10am on April 23 to 5pm on April 25th, 2024. Dr. Launchbury’s collection delves into the diverse aspects of Beirut, capturing moments of relaxation along the Corniche, the vibrant colours of Luna Park, and the city’s visual representation of changes brought about by catastrophe, war, and financial crisis.
In a departure from conventional resilience narratives, the photos shed light on the resourcefulness and complicity of Beirut’s residents in navigating their everyday lives. This thought-provoking exploration of the city’s cultural dynamics is open for all to attend, free of charge. To reserve your spot, please click here.
