Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom (2011), by Lebanese artist Ayman Baalbaki is named after the slogan taken up by leftist and nationalist Arab organisations to symbolise a new hope. The painting also references the graves of Lebanese martyrs, in which there is a portrait of the dead, lit and surrounded by artificial flowers.

A nation that has contributed immensely to the Nahda (Arab Awakening) and to the tradition of resistance, Lebanon has forced out the Zionist entity from its land through bravery and strength! In our next screening, we will recall the painful period of the Lebanese Civil War - a constant reminder that we cannot let imperialist-backed organisations disunify the Arab people. 🇱🇧

Join us on Thursday, the 4th of April between 6-9pm at the @listengallery where we will be sharing a short and feature film. We will be having iftar after the screening at 8.07pm and use this time for a group discussion. The event is free but to avoid overcrowding we are limiting spaces. Sign up to eventbrite to get a ticket (link in bio).

⚠️ Please be aware that the films include the depiction of bodily injury, blood, gunfire, and deal with the topics of mass murder and torture. The feature has one short scene of a sheep being butchered.
