TAP is a context-responsive platform, committed to creating conditions where contemporary artists become allies in driving enduring social change in precarious contexts. This print sale was originally intended to fundraise for public interventions and social art practices in Lebanon. However, in light of the ongoing attacks by Israeli forces in Lebanon with over a million people forcibly displaced, and countless civilians, paramedics, and journalists killed, TAP’s priorities have shifted. The proceeds from this print sale have been redirected to support grassroots initiatives supporting those displaced.

Basile Ghosn

An abstract swap, a long distance call.

Using anonymous archival images, Basile Ghosn recreates urban landscapes and architectures through drawing, the use of scotch tape, plexiglass, photocopying and printmaking techniques. The manipulation of anachronistic elements serves in his works a Lo-Fi re-reading of architecture

Mahmoud El Safadi

A body as a landscape, a horizon cuts across skin, a line keeps memory to measure time: a horizon to gaze across, a mark to surpass, a border to transgress.

The night is quiet; can we stay or escape? If we touch, would we understand each other? Were you waving or drowning? Have we tried all that we could?

Mahmoud El Safadi’s work is informed by his personal experience of migration and displacement to explore the complex realities of globalization and the contemporary world’s shifting and often polarized nature. He uses the mediums of video, photography, sculpture, and installation to question the complex relationships between nature and culture, material and lived heritage, and challenging conventional notions of what is “natural” and what is “artificial”.

Renoz

As I gaze upon the city's urban landscape, I am met with numerous monuments, structures, and objects. Often, these remnants are the residue of development projects that faltered and, neglected, become fixtures of the streets, gradually melding into the urban scenery while losing their original functionality. These objects evolve into modern ruins.

Renoz explores urban structures that have emerged in the city after the civil war and their impacts on the lived environment. His interest in broad thematics such as corruption, water scarcity, and inflation influence his work as he integrates found recurring elements (devalued currency, water trucks, road signs, telephone booths) into his studio practice.

Yasmina Hilal

Through the manipulation of a singular image, a collage of an embellished hand of a mannequin speaks to the literal and figurative lengths women go to in order to reach the aesthetic standard of beauty perpetuated by media advertisements. A peculiarly attractive paste-up so odd, it becomes difficult to define.

Through experimentation with negatives and alternative photographic techniques, Yasmina Hilal creates her signature collages. Innumerable in their forms, her works are a combination of the odd and mesmerizing, of movement and stillness.

Nathalie Harb

Beirut’s signscape is wildly populated by projections into a safer future, a rhetoric centered around private ownership, overseas investment, catastrophe insurance and the commodification of nationality. With these billboards we’re reminded of a past that’s projected onto a shinier future. We understand rest, sleep, and pleasure to be acts of resistance through which we can uncover schizophrenic narratives. Disrupting the advertising sequence is aimed at halting the aggressive noise for a short while, to rest in rebellion, to rest elsewhere away from the speculative future drawn on and for us.

Nathalie Harb engages with the complex interplay between public and personal space, exploring themes of shelter, care, and conflict. Her practice draws on collaborations between diverse practitioners to create projects spanning urban interventions, theater, and exhibitions that question the notion of home by proposing an alternative use of our habitat.

Dalia Baassiri

I bathe a small olive tree with native handcrafted soap, a perpetuation of my practice of documenting ritualistic acts of cleansing as testaments of care. Much like the gentle cleansing of a departed one before being laid to rest, I pay homage to the tens of thousands of olive trees that have been an intentional target in an ongoing war.

Dalia Baassiri’s interdisciplinary work stems from the parameters of the home. Finding refuge in the world of the domestic, from dust particles and houseplants, to reading glasses, and sink drains, she draws inspiration from her time spent in refugee indoors.

Randa Mirza

Keep your mental balance when confronted with a foe, If you are poised and tranquil when all around is strife, Be assured that you have mastered the most vital thing in life.

Randa Mirza manipulates and constructs images to reveal the discourses inherent in all depiction, on the tenuous border between fiction and reality. She seeks to review normalized, gendered and orientalist illustrations by bringing into light the hidden symbolic, social and political paradigms.

Tamara Kalo

This project aims to conjure an ancestral futurity in the present. As Lebanon undergoes perpetual crises, it leaves one’s life within it fixated on quotidian struggles, unable to imagine a brighter tomorrow, and occasionally escaping in the nostalgia of its recent romanticized past. Working with a seven-thousand-year-old olive tree, the work muses on the notion of deep time within the framework of this living tree, imagining the deep past as well as the deep future.

Tamara Kalo incorporates light- and time-based media to investigate narratives that shape home, displacement and collective memory and to represent the fragility of what lies between a moment in time and place and its memory.

Dia Mrad

Acts No. 92/160 ,92/159

The debate surrounding Lebanon’s «old rent» laws reflects divergent perspectives between tenants and landlords, entrenched within legislative frameworks such as Rent Acts No. 92/159 and 92/160 enacted in 1992. These laws established rent control for pre1992- properties, maintaining rates below market values due to socioeconomic instability. Proposed amendments aim to rectify these disparities by updating rental rates while safeguarding long-term tenants. Against the backdrop of the current economic crisis and significant devaluation of the Lebanese lira akin to conditions in 1992, these discussions carry heightened significance.

Dia Mrad investigates urban materiality and symbolism and captures urban landscapes embodying human experience. His work reflects interactions with the physical environment and inviting contemplation of connections formed between people and material

Annabel Daou

The process of determining what belongs to oneself often engages one in questions of what belongs to others. This work asks viewers to reflect on notions of difference, of separation, of the demarcation lines between personal, collective, and exclusionary forms of belonging and possession. It simultaneously invokes the shattering of meaning as words slip out of our reach or dissipate as they are spoken. Who is being asked and who is asking?

Annabel Daou’s work takes form in paper-based constructions, sound, performance and video. Daou suspends, carves out or records the language of daily life: from the ordinary or mundane to the intimately personal and urgently political
