About
“This project was born from a simple question: why is it so hard to let go of Lebanon?”
— Elias Maroun

EXHIBITION
Still Beautiful. Still Broken.
After more than a decade producing cultural projects in Lebanon and abroad, Elias Maroun takes a one-time step into the foreground with his first solo show. Borrowing the graphic language of cigarette-pack warnings, the series diagnoses another kind of dependency: the one that binds the Lebanese to their country. Thirteen text works installed inside the exhibition room of Liza — a Beiruti address that is itself a kind of homecoming.

From the interview — Agenda Culturel, July 2026
"Like many Lebanese, I left the country several times, convinced it was the last time. And like many others, I came back. At some point I realized this relationship with Lebanon resembled a dependency. You know that leaving is sometimes necessary, but something keeps pulling you back."
"The warnings no longer speak of tobacco; they speak of attachment, uncertainty, exhaustion, financial trauma, of the impossibility of turning the page."
— Elias Maroun, in conversation with Agenda Culturel
