Naviguer à travers les différents contextes socio-politiques

For two decades, BIPOD and Moultaqa Leymoun have been pivotal in the contemporary dance scene in Lebanon and the Arab world, fostering dialogue and collaboration among Lebanese and international cultural networks, festivals and professionals.

Amidst Lebanon's challenges, including the economic turmoil, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the August 4th explosion, compounded by current regional crises in Gaza and south Lebanon, our cultural responsibility is paramount. We search for ways to persevere in upholding our shared values and nurturing new narratives for dance, that responds to the socio-political and cultural environments of our locality. Preceding the BIPOD festival, this gathering offers a platform to address such socio-economic and political issues impacting Lebanese dance and culture, while also exploring broader Mediterranean and global realities.

This year, Moultaqa Leymoun aims to unite cultural stakeholders and artists in solidarity, fostering information exchange, dialogue, reflection, and collaboration around projects and artists.

We are pleased to unveil the agenda for our upcoming cultural meeting under the title “ Seeds and Soil” , focusing on the intersection of philosophy, social-political dynamics, and artistic expression. Join us for insightful discussions and visionary exchanges aimed at shaping the future of our cultural discourse.

This session online session will convene professionals from Lebanon, Palestine, and the regional countries to share experiences, project concepts as well as relationship dynamics and interaction between local dancers, cultural actors, and audience engagement.
