General Hardware is pleased to present grab/ hold, an exhibition bringing together works by five artists from Lebanon and the Southwest Asia and North African diaspora whose practise engages themes of fragmentation, erasure, and distortion. It draws a thorough line between these feelings and the material loss of tradition present among SWANA artists.
The exhibition understands artistic practice as something that helps you feel physically grounded and aware of yourself in your body.
