Unfolding Landscapes is the inaugural exhibition of BeMA’s Ambulant Arts program, an itinerant format that circulates works beyond the museum’s walls. Inspired by the Sandouk el-Ferjeh and cabinets of curiosities, it unfolds through mobile display units and invites viewers to reconsider landscape as a cultural, scientific, and historical construction. Organized around four themes (geology, flora, skies, and human natures), it brings works from the Lebanese Ministry of Culture’s collection into dialogue with new commissions.
Nafaa’s Conversation with the Strata (in collaboration with Yara Mahdi) examines restoration through geological thinking, using scientific and conservation imagery to trace how damage, neglect, and repair accumulate like layers. Working from paintings by Moustafa Farroukh and Georges Guv, the project moves between evidence and substitution, and asks how decisions of care shape what is preserved and what is allowed to disappear.
