The closing event of the series “Break Up” zooms in on a specific topic with wide-ranging
implications: how do Lebanese artists and thinkers in exile deal with the turbulent events back home, from a revolution in 2019 to the horrendous explosion in Beirut’s harbour in 2020, to the ongoing state crisis today? How do you think, work, and live in two places at once?

The event kicks off with the premiere of Fitnat Beyrouth, a new film by acclaimed Syrian director Sara Fattahi – an intimate portrayal of Rotterdam-based up-and-coming artist and feminist activist Diana Al-Halabi. In the subsequent debate, Al-Halabi joins veteran Lebanese artist Lina Majdalanie and political analyst Jeffrey G. Karam, discussing how transnational solidarity and critical activism work in times of continuous crises and of social media, and what role feminism plays in shaping Europe’s and Lebanon’s future. The conversation is moderated by historian Leyla Dakhli.

Berliner Korrespondenzen is a series of Allianz Kulturstiftung and the Maxim Gorki Theatre Berlin, in cooperation with Humboldt Universität and supported by the German Federal Foreign Office.
