Reverence and what remains
About this Event
Displaying their art individually and collectively for the first time, Sabrina Beydoun and Kell Oliver have each been documenting with a sense of awe and grief for over two decades.
We invite you to this rare opportunity to view some of their their work in person and take some of it home as well.
ALL sales will be donated to grassroots efforts in Lebanon organizing aid for the thousands displaced by US-ISRE*li colonial violence

"In this short film, which is part-documentary and part-memoir, Farrah Berrou takes us to her ancestral border village of Kfarkila in southern Lebanon for the first time since October 8, 2023, the same day that Lebanon became a support-front to Palestine in a post-October 7th world."
