Talk at OMI with photographer Hans Wilschut and graphic designer Hans Gremmen about their new book Beirut Epi-Centre Ville, that recalls the aftershock of the explosion that hit Beirut in 2020. The talk is moderated by curator and photographer Kim Bouvy.

“With this book I try to make tangible the paralysis that remained in the city. The disaster killed 218 people and injured thousands. The devastation was enormous and many houses around the harbor were destroyed. Lebanon’s government subsequently fell, making the country politically unstable. The ensuing economic and administrative crisis is still ongoing.”, Hans Wilschut
