“Who does the revolution belong to? What do we own if not our bodies? What is ours”, writes Mona Eltahawy in Myriam Boulos’ debut photo-book, published by Aperture in 2023.

Born shortly after Lebanon’s last civil war, Boulos began photographing at the age of 16 as a mechanism for activism and a form of survival— to question Beirut, its people, and her place among them. “What’s Ours” portrays Boulos' friends, family, and fellow citizens with an intense energy and intimacy, in states of both pleasure and protest. Tracing a decade of Lebanon’s turbulent landscape, from the 2019 revolution and the aftermath of the Beirut port explosion the following year, to the lead-up to Israel’s ongoing attacks, her first solo exhibition in Norway presents a selection of images, diary entries, and conversation fragments from 2013 to 2023.

Mira Adoumier, filmmaker, visual artist and researcher based in Beirut and Oslo, will officially open the exhibition with an introduction to Boulos' work.
