Meet Faten Hamdan, one of the 18 selected artists featured in the "Havens" Hybrid Collective Art Exhibition at Kulturnest.

Through her works, "Opulence in Motion I", "Opulence in Motion II", and "Echoes on the Water", Faten invites us into intuitive abstract worlds where color, texture, and movement serve as vessels for emotion, memory, and reflection. Her paintings move between softness and energy, capturing moments that feel both deeply personal and constantly transforming.

In "Opulence in Motion", beauty is presented as something alive and unfolding, where forms shift, dissolve, and return in a quiet rhythm of change. In "Echoes on the Water", the city appears through layers of reflection and memory, becoming less a fixed place than a feeling, an impression, and a moment of pause.

Rooted in vibrant colors and dynamic forms, Faten’s practice reminds us that a haven can exist in movement, in memory, and in the emotional landscapes we carry within us.

Discover her work as part of Havens, on view at Kulturnest, Lebanon, until August 14, and through the exhibition’s metaverse edition.

Meet Crystel Samia, one of the 18 selected artists featured in the "Havens" Hybrid Collective Art Exhibition at Kulturnest.

Through her works, "Follow the Light", "The Grace of Reflection", and "Blue Lotus", Crystel invites us into a visual world shaped by intuition, symbolism, and quiet inner landscapes. Her paintings explore havens as spaces of hope, reflection, and restoration, from turning toward light to facing the hidden parts of the self, to finding calm in the dreamlike wisdom of nature.

Rooted in slow, intentional making, Crystel’s practice moves between illustration, painting, animation, and hand-painted objects. Her work carries time, care, and emotion, creating intimate pieces that feel alive and open small moments of connection with beauty, mystery, and the inner self.

Through her featured artworks, Crystel reminds us that a haven can be a direction, a mirror, a ritual of rest, or a gentle return to oneself.

Meet Afaf Merheb, one of the 18 selected artists featured in the "Havens" Hybrid Collective Art Exhibition at Kulturnest.

Through her work, "Welcome to my Art Diary", Afaf invites us into a deeply personal visual world where drawing becomes a space of healing, self-acceptance, and rebirth. Created after her open-heart surgery, these digital artworks became her everyday diary, a way to transform physical and emotional pain into drawing, and to process the darkest parts of her journey with kindness, acceptance, and hope.

Her art carries the identity of Afaf through four recurring symbols: women, spirals, scars, and leaves. The woman reflects emotional and physical struggle, the spiral speaks of birth, death, and rebirth, the scar has become her signature, and the leaf brings a sense of growth and renewal.

As the founder of Thingy, Afaf brings emotion, empowerment, self-love, and hope into every creation, reminding us that a haven can also be found within the act of making.

Join us on Thursday, June 18, from 6 to 9 PM at Kulturnest for the opening of Havens, a hybrid collective art exhibition bringing together the works of 18 artists from Lebanon and abroad.

Curated by Dr. Pamela Chrabieh, the exhibition explores the fragile shelters we build, remember, imagine, and carry within us in times of war - through artworks that speak of tenderness, rupture, care, continuity, and the need to remain human.

Featured artists: Afaf Merheb, Crystel Samia, Faten Hamdan, Helen Serhan, Jana Hakim, Joseph Ghobeira, Katia Aoun Hage, Leslie Akl, Lucy Poshoghlian / Ardziv, Mundi Ruptor, Nicole Yazbeck Moussalli, Omar Sabbagh, Rania Issam Hamady, Rima Ghanem, Rita Francis, Roula Freiha Bahsali, Tala Beydoun, and Wael Daaboul.

The exhibition will take place physically at Kulturnest in Sin-el-Fil (Lebanon) until August 14, and virtually in the metaverse until July 25. Visits are open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 3 to 6 PM, Thursdays from 11 AM to 2 PM throughout June, July, and August; and Saturdays from 11 AM to 2 PM during June only.

Havens will also be part of Beirut Art Days 2026, organised by L’Agenda Culturel from June 24 to 27 under the theme “Art Is Our Capital.”

Welcome, Luna Mohamad Abdo, to the Kulturnest community! Luna is a self-taught photographer based in Lebanon whose work explores quiet urban spaces, emotional atmosphere, memory, distance, and the subtle tension between solitude and presence.

Her visual language unfolds through observational photography, natural light, simple framing, and cinematic stillness. Her work captures everyday moments that feel suspended in time, where the sea, the city, architecture, fog, movement, and human presence become quiet reflections of inner states.

Rooted in Lebanon’s contrasts, Luna’s photographs invite us to slow down and notice the calmer, more intimate side of places. Through silence, light, and emotional subtlety, she transforms ordinary scenes into contemplative visual fragments where memory, stillness, and presence quietly meet.
