TAKEOVER, Beirut
August 1- September 4, 2024


During their month-long summer residency at TAKEOVER, Modelab transformed the gallery into a mixed media genealogical garden.

The installation, made out of images, plant samples, and decorative elements, proposes  the elevation of personal histories into a collective aesthetic process. Through experimental archival techniques, Modelab acknowledges family memories and identities as a celebration of present life.

Sprouting Stories is a reminder that all thing originate from nature, that memories ultimately return to it, and that some memory exercises are acts of resistance— asserting life in the face of adversity.


Family genealogies rooted in the past extend into the future:

Memory is resistance. Resistance is hope. Hope is change.
