Following the success of the inaugural exhibition “Confessions” in 2012, House of Today presents the biennial exhibition “Naked: beyond the social mask” in Beirut, Lebanon.

“Let us rethink the mission of an NGO dedicated to arts because this is not just about helping out the local young talents: House of Today is also about introducing projects with an unique sense of aesthetic through unexpected collaborations, thus demonstrating balance and common respect for a singular conversation in Beirut. Through their inspiration, personality and expertise, all the invited artists and designers are giving the world a part of themselves, offering an overview of today’s creativity in Lebanon and beyond. This collection of pieces with different dimensions, materials and functionalities all embrace creativity as a common language based on passion and originality” explains the curator Sam Baron.

Founded by Cherine Magrabi Tayeb in 2012 and based in Beirut, House of Today is a nonprofit organisation that identifies, showcases, nurtures, and connects emerging Lebanese designers to a regional and global design network.
