Mahita El Bacha Urieta, Manuella Guiragossian and Hala Schoukair, the daughters of Amine El Bacha (1932-2019), Paul Guiragossian (1926-1993) and Saloua Raouda Choucair (1916-2017) - leading artists of Lebanon’s art world - talk about the responsibility of taking care of their parent’s legacy, what challenges they face and what it means to curate a biography that is intrinsically linked to their own. They are in conversation with Nadia von Maltzahn (LAWHA/OIB).

This episode is an edited version of a live conversation that took place at the OIB in May 2023.
