From everywhere, Lebanon
A global artistic movement
It travels through people.
Across the world, millions of Lebanese in the diaspora are watching their country wounded from afar. Distance does not create detachment. It creates another kind of proximity, one shaped by tension, fragmentation, and unresolved emotion.
Living far away does not mean being untouched. We carry grief, anger, isolation, helplessness, and a persistent sense of injustice. There is a constant dissonance between where we are and what is unfolding back home. We wake up in cities at peace, surrounded by normalcy, while our thoughts remain anchored elsewhere, in a place that feels both distant and painfully close.
THE WAR IN LEBANON DOES NOT STOP AT ITS BORDERS.
When distance becomes another form of exposure
Distance does not shield us from violence. It seeps into our most intimate spaces, our routines, our conversations, our relationships, our inner worlds. It quietly reshapes how we move through daily life, creating an invisible weight that is difficult to explain, yet impossible to ignore.
From Everywhere, Lebanon is a global artistic movement initiated by the Lebanese diaspora. It is an invitation to translate this complex, often invisible experience into something tangible.
Because art witnesses.
Because art resists.
Because art makes visible what is too often overlooked.
How to participate
Create an artwork that reflects how you experience the war from abroad. Share it on Instagram using the hashtag #FromEverywhereLebanon. A selection of works will be reposted each week to amplify these voices.
Taking space, together
Lebanese voices are too often unheard, misrepresented, or reduced. This project is about reclaiming space, about occupying the digital world with narratives that are raw, personal, and impossible to ignore.
From everywhere in the world, Lebanon is still present, through us, through what we create, through what we refuse to silence.
Lebanese creatives across the world, as well as allies, are invited to take part in this collective expression. All forms of artistic practice are welcome:
Photography
Video
Music
Poetry
Drawing
Performance
Any form of artistic expression
