Nasri Sayegh
Nasri Sayegh (b. 1978, Lebanon) is a Lebanese-French visual artist, writer, actor, and DJ, and the founder of radiokarantina. His practice – spanning photography, collage, and cross-stitch embroidery – engages with the transient, the blurred, and the unstable, where images hover on the verge of disappearance. First initiated in 1986 and sustained over time, embroidery has become a core thread of his artistic practice. Drawing from his personal visual archives, Sayegh dismantles and reconfigures images to construct a subjective historiography. Through processes of excavation and cross-referencing, fragmentation generates new strata of images and text, where the image functions both as a visual notebook and as a catalyst for writing.
Exhibitions
Freedom Recalled is a landmark exhibition at Beit Beirut which confronts Lebanon’s unresolved history of impunity, the failures of justice and the unhealed wounds that continue to echo through its collective psyche. At its heart, Freedom Recalled asks: Do we bear a responsibility to remember — and if so, how? What silences do we choose to uphold, and what price must truth exact in return? And ultimately, how might the pursuit of justice become a catalyst for personal healing and national renewal? Explore
