Student Exhibition Babir Hospital

Organisation: 
forumZFD, LAH
Launched in: 
2017
Description: 
On the 29th of April 2017, the former and presently closed Barbir hospital in Beirut came to life again: Students from twelve schools from various parts of the country presented information, films and artworks on various commemoration sites and important events of the Lebanese Civil War. Visitors could see, among others, a reproduction of the"Hope for Peace monument" in Yarzeh where tanks have been put on top of each other to form a memorial, a room with empty beds representing people gone missing in the war, or reproductions of old newspaper articles about Musa Sadr and other religious leaders in Lebanon going on hunger strike in protest against the Civil War.
