Support
In light of the ongoing attacks by Israeli forces in Lebanon, and with over a million people forcibly displaced and countless civilians, paramedics, and journalists killed, we are trying to figure out how to best do our part in these difficult times. TAP is a context-responsive platform, committed to creating conditions where contemporary artists can be allies in driving enduring social change in precarious contexts. This fundraiser print sale was originally intended to close our billboard commissions project “In the blink of an eye” in order to fundraise for another chapter. As our team is dispersed on three continents, we decided to redirect the proceeds of our print sale to support grassroots initiatives supporting those displaced.
The sale includes works from Annabel Daou, Basile Ghosn, Dalia Baassiri, Dia Mrad, Mahmoud El Safadi, Nathalie Harb, Randa Mirza, Renoz, Tamara Kalo, and Yasmina Hilal. The artists were commissioned for TAP’s billboard series, In the blink of an eye, that took place in Beirut in 2024.

What is yours? What is mine? by Annabel Daou
What is yours? My childhood. What is mine? Your presence. What is yours? My mistakes. What is mine? Your courage. What is yours? My past. What is mine? Your past. What is yours? My heartache. What is mine? Your voice. What is yours? My pain. What is mine? Your struggle. What is yours? My name. What is mine? Your name. What is yours? Time. What is mine? Time. What is yours? My doll. What is mine? Your life. What is yours? The joy of being on a mountain. What is mine? Everything I have to give. What is yours? My self. What is mine? Your self. What is yours? Almost nothing. What is mine? Your question. The process of determining what belongs to oneself often engages one in questions of what belongs to others. This work asks viewers to reflect on notions of difference, of separation, of the demarcation lines between personal, collective, and exclusionary forms of belonging and possession. It simultaneously invokes the shattering of meaning as words slip out of our reach or dissipate as they are spoken. Who is being asked and who is asking?
