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.
