Art, Music, Performance for one night only - Beirut

Spiritual Promises from lost prophets, is a group show of international artists, that took place in Beirut, Lebanon. The show was conceived by cosmicmegabrain collective after an invitation from the Beirut-based cultural association 98 weeks research project to take part with their upcoming project Beirut every-other-day, a series of workshops focusing on Beirut's urban space and its lingering ruins.




The 22 artists on show offer a diverse range of observations and speculations on the plight of mankind and our perilous journey into the unknown. The resulting contrast in their outlooks is reflective of the nature of humanity; visions of future utopias and dystopias; interpretations of the present and realizations of alternative realities; the cycles of degeneration and regeneration in mystical landscapes and a cursed earth.

The backdrop of Beirut is a poignant reminder of the flux and disruption that can be wrought on landscapes and peoples by events both predicted and unforeseen. It is an appropriate setting for these visionaries, these prophets of art, who are at once propagators of truth and fiction yet whose prophesies are true indicators of the human condition in these times.
