SUMMARY:Art: Resilience in Ruins: Reem Bassous
DESCRIPTION:“Resilience in Ruins” powerfully explores trauma\, memory\, and resilience through the art of Reem Bassous\, a Lebanese painter whose practice is deeply rooted in her personal experiences of war and its aftermath. Bassous confronts the destruction and emotional scars of the Lebanese Civil War through abstract\, layered compositions and symbolism while creating space for healing\, survival\, and resilience.  \n​ \nThis exhibition explores the enduring power of memory in shaping identity\, community\, and responses to ongoing violence. Bassous’s work transcends her personal history\, engaging with universal themes of conflict and recovery\, making her art deeply relevant in today’s geopolitical context. The Middle East remains fraught with tensions\, mainly due to the recent escalation of violence between Israel and Hamas\, as well as Lebanon’s precarious position. \nBassous is continually reckoning with her past\, present\, and future self. She uses her art to resist violence and question how we witness conflict while inspiring compassion and resilience. The exhibition examines how personal and collective memory can serve as a means of resistance\, offering a narrative of endurance and recovery in the face of trauma.

SUMMARY:Movie: The Encampments
DESCRIPTION:THE ENCAMPMENTS follows student organizers at some of the world’s most prestigious universities as they take a historic stand against their institutions’ investments in the ongoing genocide in Gaza\, igniting one of the largest student movements in history which continues to have far-reaching effects on US and world policies today. \nFilmed on the ground and in real-time as these events were unfolding\, THE ENCAMPMENTS features detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil and takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Professors\, whistleblowers from inside Ivy League administrations\, and student activists shed light on a moment that captivated the nation’s attention and continues to make headlines today. \n“What makes THE ENCAMPMENTS artistically triumphant is its sense of contemporary and historical detail\, owed to both footage shot by the filmmakers\, as well as by the protesters themselves. In the process\, co-directors Kei Pritsker and Michael T. Workman craft a work of cinema that’s as rigorously journalistic in its arguments as it is nakedly sentimental.” – IndieWire \n“This is more than a student protest—it’s a generational struggle for justice. Students have always led the charge for justice\, from the sit-ins of the Civil Rights Movement to the campus protests against South African apartheid. The encampments that started at Columbia are part of that legacy\, inspiring millions of people around the world. The film ensures the students in US and Gaza are heard\, their actions are remembered\, and the fight for Palestinian liberation continues.” – Macklemore \n“Khalil remains detained at an ICE facility in Louisiana amid a legal battle to prevent his deportation from the U.S. after the Trump administration ordered his removal… The legal challenge to Khalil might ultimately come down to the Supreme Court\, which would decide how far the secretary of state can determine whether a permanent resident can be removed for speech.” – Axios
