OBJECTS

In October of 2017, people from across Beirut came to the National Museum and gave their voices to a number of objects in the collection. The people spoke to, for and about these objects from the past, and, in doing so, revealed fragments of the present. They did not attempt to disclose a particular historical narrative. Nor did they attempt to create a fiction. They did not lie and they did not try to tell the truth.


بشهر تشرين الأول 2017, عدد كبير من الناس زار المتحف الوطني ببيروت. سكان المدينة عطوا صوتن للمجسمات والقطع الموجودة من أكتر من آلاف السنين. حكوا عن الاغراض بالماضي، وكشفوا نبذة عن الحاضر. ما جربوا يخبروا عن قصة تاريخية معينة، ولا عن قصة من نسج الخيال. باختصار، ما قالوا الحقيقة وما كذبوا
