“Moments For Lebanon” is the brainchild of Beirut-born, Paris-based creatives Tamara Barakat and Sana El Halwani—a powerful love letter to their homeland, where art, activism, and community come together in a seamless collision of passion and purpose.
Curated with care, this immersive event celebrates Lebanon’s rich cultural tapestry while channeling its energy into tangible support for relief efforts. With their intimate connection to the country at the heart of the initiative, Barakat and El Halwani craft an experience that’s both a celebration of creativity and a call to action, offering a space for unity and healing amidst Lebanon’s ongoing struggles.
In a time when the world feels increasingly fractured, “Moments For Lebanon” is a reminder of the transformative power of art, and of the vital importance of collective action in moments of crisis.
Moments For Lebanon is an art exhibition with a purpose—an intimate yet powerful fundraising event that brings together a carefully selected group of both established and emerging artists, each capturing the soul of Lebanon beyond the daily headlines.
The exhibition opens with a vernissage at Lucid Interval (94 Rue Quincampoix, 75003 Paris) on November 30th, and will be on display throughout December 1st for a full-day showing.
What makes this exhibition even more special is that the majority of the works are generously donated by the artists themselves, with all proceeds going directly to non-political, non-religious nonprofit organizations. The funds will be split as follows: 30% each to the Lebanese Red Cross, Rotary Lebanon, and Beit El Baraka, with 10% allocated to Give Me A Paw.
From photography to paintings, illustrations to film, the exhibition weaves a narrative of Lebanon’s enduring beauty and strength—a country defined not just by its struggles, but by its unshakable resilience, rich culture, and the hope that continues to burn. This is the Lebanon you dream of: the one you hear, the one you taste, and the one you yearn to see.
Join Moments For Lebanon to celebrate art, solidarity, and the unbreakable spirit of a nation.
Parisian friends, see you there.
