“Ce qui m’intéresse, c’est cette idée de réel et invisible, tout ce qui est autour de nous mais qu’on ne voit pas, et j’essaye de ramener ça à la surface” - Edouard Souhaid

“j’ai jamais cherché à imiter la nature parce que la nature pour moi est tellement belle et extraordinaire que si j’essayais de retranscrire une fleur ou un arbre, c’est impossible, il n’y a que interprétation dans ce cas là” - Elisabeth Delesalle

Bringing together two divergent worlds, the exhibition explores a shared visual resonance between their practices. Despite different backgrounds and generations, the work arrives at an unexpected proximity, a dialogue between order and disorder, where every stroke is part of a larger “play”.

Réunissant deux mondes divergents, l’exposition explore la résonance visuelle commune qui se dégage de leurs pratiques artistiques. Malgré des parcours et des profils différents, elle parvient à une proximité inattendue, un dialogue entre ordre et désordre, où chaque trait fait partie d’un « jeu » rythmé plus vaste.

With the support of Minab Studios
Throughout half of 2025, MINAB Studios reshaped @menart_fair digital storytelling into a living editorial platform: one that bridges cultural depth with a human and curatorial voice.
Softness became our lens: a language of care, connection, and presence.
Through strategy, visuals, and bilingual narratives, we reframed the visibility of SWANA art in Europe, turning Menart’s digital space into an archive, a voice, and a cultural reference.
A fair reimagined. A narrative renewed.
We are very thankful for @menart_fair trust in our team to work on their communications strategy, ads strategy, content creation, media coverage and social media management. We are beyond proud of the results this has led for the 6th edition.
We are truly looking forward to being a part of the 7th edition in 2026, the application for galleries have opened! See you in October
In May 2025, we transformed a studio in Beirut into a space for collective reflection.
No artworks, no exhibition… just a white, pure, empty space.
(dis)connected was an anti-exhibition, a blank canvas.
We asked the visitors:
→ What is the role of the artist in dystopian times?
→ How do we reconnect through art, when everything feels fragmented?
People sat, reflected, talked. The atmosphere was gentle, strange, and alive.
The space became a living archive… a collective artwork made by the public.
A temporary environment for memory, vulnerability, and conversation.
@minabstudios and @salahinproject in collaboration with @maria.yared curated and organized this installation, to hold a space for listening, sharing and talking.
Thank you to everyone who attended and joined our talk on the last day, this was truly an amazing project we worked on that year.
2025 was a foundational and transformative year for MINAB Studios 🤞🏼
From airport events, to communication strategies, content creation, brand strategy development, exhibitions, screenings, a full rebranding & company uplift, music & art collaborations, to officially registering the company in our second location Beirut ❤️
We’d like to thank everyone who put their trust in us in 2025 and continue to do so, we are where we are thanks to your support, your belief in us and the belief in our projects!
The Art & Culture world deserves the right strategies and focus 🥰
We’ve got so much planned for 2026, stay tuned!!!
Our co-founder Cynthia @neighborsbymusic represented MINAB Studios and took part in two major conferences these past few weeks ✨
Starting off with @internationalmusicsummitdubai , Cynthia served on the curation committee contributing to the speaker selection. She also took part in “Market Focus Lebanon” speaking alongside @patch3000_@jameskhou@thesoundsofjade about the ecosystem, challenges and landscape of the Lebanese electronic music scene 🇱🇧
Next stop was in Riyadh for @xpmusicfutures , where she moderated a topic dear to her heart “Selector Culture: Music Curation as a form of Cultural Preservation” ❤️🔥
We’re beyond happy to see @minabstudios represented on these platforms and contributing to conversations shaping the region’s art, culture and creative communities.
We’re also very proud of our co-founder and her efforts in all this 🌸
Special thanks to @berts_lpb@s_shamiii@anthonysemaan@shadimegallaa@zenim__@samee3lamee3@karenbeyrouty@yaratemsah@amermanns@alyadeeb4@youssefawadly you guys made it beautiful 🫰🏼
From Mise En Abyme to MINAB Studios.
We’ve been asked the meaning behind our name so many times, and thought it might be time to share it. @justalex2.000 explains the inspiration behind the original name and concept, to how it reached today’s identity.
From an idea → to a project → to a collaboration that lives on.
There’s more from where that came from, stay tuned for part 2.
