Mission Statement
Since the beginning of March, Israel's war on Lebanon has displaced over 1 million people across south Lebanon and Beirut, killed more than 2,500 people, and injured thousands more — with the deaths continuing to rise. Despite a ceasefire by name, attacks and bombardments continue in many parts of the country.
Ongoing violent Israeli strikes on civilian infrastructure have forced many people into temporary shelters without access to basic necessities, while homes and entire neighborhoods have been destroyed. First responders, ambulances, and rescue equipment have also been repeatedly targeted.
Souk el Fan is organizing a 2-week online print sale to raise funds for grassroot organizations supporting various communities impacted.
NGOs
The sale features photography and illustrations generously donated by artists and photographers based in Lebanon. All profits go directly to grassroots organizations supporting those affected.
Note: For those wishing to purchase prints in Lebanon, please DM us the details of your order on Instagram and we will fulfill it locally.
Beirut Art Center is reopening on May 14 after opening its doors at the start of the war to relief organizations operating on the ground. Now, we are shifting toward cultural recovery, centering artists and communities from the south through exhibitions, performances, somatic workshops, and a collaboration with Stayha, a cultural space from Kfar Ramman that had to close. The funds go toward keeping this space open, active, and free at a moment when that is not a given. It will cover operational costs, artist fees, and the programs that are helping people return to themselves and to each other.
