ABOUT
About LebRecord
LebRecord is Lebanon’s leading online platform devoted to documenting, analyzing, and celebrating the richness of Lebanese visual arts. It brings together painting, photography, installation, sculpture, and architecture within a single space for reflection and cultural dialogue. The purpose of LebRecord is to strengthen the visibility of the Lebanese art scene and to connect it to broader regional and international discussions.
Our Story
Founded in 2005, LebRecord began as an independent initiative to record and promote the emerging art scene in Lebanon at a time of cultural renewal and transformation. Over the years, it has evolved into a vital reference for artists, critics, curators, and scholars who seek thoughtful engagement with contemporary visual culture. After a period of silence, LebRecord has returned with renewed focus and energy to continue its original mission of cultural documentation and critical inquiry.
What We Do
LebRecord publishes:
- Features and essays that explore the themes, movements, and ideas shaping Lebanese art today.
- News and exhibition coverage that informs readers about gallery events, public installations, and cultural programs.
- Artist interviews that offer insight into the practices, thoughts, and creative processes of established and emerging voices.
- Critical reflections that engage with questions of art, identity, space, and memory.
- Archival material that preserves important records of Lebanon’s artistic production for future generations.
Our Vision and Values
LebRecord views art as a living expression of collective and personal experience. It is not an accessory to life but a force that reveals, questions, and reimagines the world. In Lebanon, where memory and imagination are constantly intertwined, art becomes a way to sustain continuity and hope.
Our values include:
- Authenticity and integrity in representing artists and their work.
- Critical openness that welcomes different viewpoints and encourages dialogue.
- Accessibility that connects the public to artistic and intellectual production.
- Continuity and renewal that preserve cultural memory while encouraging innovation.
