Headline: Kuh-Rupt – A group exhibition featuring some of the most prominent Urban-Contemporary Artists of the Revolution Sub Headline: Art Of Change brings the Social Narrative of the Street into the Gallery

During the 47 days of the Lebanese Revolution, Art Of Change have worked with some of the best Urban Contemporary Artists of the moment, creating more than 75 street art murals across Beirut, Tripoli and Choueifat. The Art produced in the streets by the Artists has become one of the defining pillars of the Revolutionary Movement, expressing the feelings of the people and the hopes of a new Lebanon, generating worldwide exposure. Long before the Revolution started, Art Of Change was one of the main proponents of the Street Art movement in Lebanon. We have elevated ‘graffiti’ into a recognized and valued art form, transforming the streets into open public art galleries for the people to enjoy and engage with. We are incredibly proud to see the Artists and their Art finally getting the recognition they so rightfully deserve. They have worked tirelessly in support of the revolution and have given their heart and soul in support of the movement. While we continue to pursue our mission of reclaiming the streets and beautifying the concrete jungles we live in, we also want to give a platform for these artists to present their studio work and give the admiring public an opportunity to acquire the art that has become so iconic of this movement. We will be featuring Original and affordable Artworks along with Limited-Edition Prints featuring many of the iconic street pieces. This is just the beginning. The exhibition will constantly evolve and reshape itself through the introduction of new works that will continue the narrative of the streets and the feelings of the people. Starting in Beirut, we will be taking the exhibition to Paris and London to promote the Lebanese Talents, telling the Story of the revolution from the perspective of the people.
