By exploring the role of storytelling as a creative construction of experience, we will cast light on the complex relationship between story and place. As the newest hub within Columbia University’s vibrant global Studio-X network, Beirut seeks to tackle the crucial questions facing the future of our cities through a multidisciplinary perspective of the urban narrative. Join us as our guests share their stories and their work on Beirut.
