التوقيت:السبت 01/08/2025 الساعه السابعه مساءً
المكان: مساحة برزخ الحمرا
مناقشة كتاب “رُباع” : رُباعيات قصصية .

بشار فيوض ، هو كاتب ومصور فوتوغرافي سوري ، لحقه شغف الكتابة منذ صغر عمره مما أنتج هذه المجموعة القصصية الأولى التي تحاول طرح القصة بشكل خاص، يعتمد تشكيل الرباعيات، بمعنى أن لكل قصة كيانها الخاص ولكن لكل أربع منها فكرة أو خيط يجمعها . بحيث تعيد مساءلة مفهوم الحكايا ذاتها .
وهي لا تخضع للأسلوب التقليدي للقصة من بداية وعقدة وحل .
الرباعية الأولى هي مذكرات، ولكن لأحداث لها زمنها الخاص والمضغوط الذي ينتقل من الواقع إلى السوريالية لدفع الأمور إلى حدودها القصوى ضمن منطقها الذاتي نفسه.
الرباعية الثانية (كَلَب) تمثل حادثة واقعية تروى من أربع وجهات نظر لـ”شخصيات” شاركت فيها، وتعتمد خلخلة الزمن والقص.
أما الرباعية الثالثة فهي أحلام تعيد إنتاج الثيمات الميثولوجية بأسلوب الحلم ومنطقه الخاص، وتنتقل بالبطل المفترض عبر “الدورة الاعتيادية” ولكن بمفردات وأحداث حداثية ومعاصرة.

How do we not lose hope?

How and what do we prioritize when everything seems horrible?

How do we stay sane?

What do we deal with rage/burnout/confusion?

For those who feel deeply affected by the current situation of our land...

who want to do more or change something...

and for those who are doing too much and everyone in between...

this is a grassroots, emergent space.

When: Tuesday, May 5
Time : 7 pm

Where: Barzahk, Hamra

It will be:



a safe space for questions, discussion, and sharing feelings

A drop-in gathering which is currently bi-weekly

A place for community-building, support, resource-sharing, and actually doing.



We are far stronger when we have like-minded people to connect with.



Facilitated by Samar Zebian, cognitive scientist, meditation teacher, and community weaver; and Natalie Karneef, meditation teacher, community builder and activist.

(We welcome and encourage additional facilitators in the future!)



In Arabic and English with translation.

Dearest friends and community,

We are heartbroken to be right where we were 2 years ago, but same as before we cannot sit idle.
The number of displaced people in Lebanon is increasing daily so we have started the aid initiative again to provide them with food during the holy month of ramadan.

We are taking any and all donations, from raw materials, blankets, mattresses, any amount of money will help.

We plan to continue these efforts, but we urgently need your support.

We aim to provide as many meals per day as possible, in addition to other vital supplies, through our staff and a devoted army of volunteers, and in collaboration with grassroots organizations and local businesses. Any contribution will make a difference. Donations can be made via a safe credit card payment or sent via Western Union.

Thank you, and in solidarity.

Join us for a book signing at Barzakh Bookshop on Saturday, February 28 at 4PM with Mai Serhan, author of “I Can Imagine It for Us: A Palestinian Daughter’s Memoir.”

In this powerful memoir, Serhan reflects on family, inheritance, exile, and what it means to imagine a shared future shaped by dignity and possibility. A deeply personal story of growing up Palestinian and holding on to hope.

This will be a book signing only — no talk or discussion.

We look forward to seeing you. ✨

Wednesday evening 11th of February

“Frida and the tribe”

Carried by her two pillars of rhythm and soul, Patrick (.w.g.a_) & Patrick (),
Frida invites us into another evening of music, elevation, and heart-opening tunes.

Her music weaves together all the genres that make her soul happy and her body move, from balads that soften the chest
to grooves that wake up the feet,
and everything in between.

This concert is an invitation to be fully here, rooted in the now,
connected to the moment and to everything around us - and to let the music do what it does best:
open, lift, and transform.

We’ll also be joined by guest musicians, opening the songs into new textures and fresh conversations. Expect incredible artists, even more incredible humans ;)
Shall we tell you who they are…
or keep the magic as a surprise?
Tell us in the comments ✨

Doors open 8:30 PM
Concert starts 9:00 PM

Band charge 15$

Limited seating. Early reservation is strongly recommended. Please write to us on our Facebook or Instagram page for booking.
