"The exhibition, entitled Forget Me Not: South Lebanon in Memory and Motion, took place earlier this month, as this largely rural part of the Levant became a front in the US and Israeli war against Iran."
"Kotaiche says: What was initially meant to be exhibited in 2020 came to life six years later with more depth and meaning."
"The first iteration of Forget Me Not emerged as a film (which played on the opening night) in which Kotaiche used 30 years of footage to explore the impact of migration on her family as they moved from Lebanon to the UK via Kuwait."
The exhibition 'Forget Me Not: South Lebanon in Memory and Motion' showcases archival footage and newspaper articles from the 2000 Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon. Co-curators Rasha Kotaiche and Ali Abou Khalil aim to retell the region's history amid ongoing violence. The project, delayed for years, features a film by Kotaiche that uses 30 years of footage to examine her family's migration journey. Themes of diaspora and future generations are central to the exhibition, highlighting the lasting effects of conflict on communities.
