Released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the start of the Lebanese Civil War (1975–2025), Where Do I Go? is a poignant photographic exploration by acclaimed artist Rania Matar. The book focuses on the lives of young women in Lebanon, capturing their portraits against the backdrop of a country marked by beauty, scars of war, and economic instability.Through Matar’s lens, the “Extended long title” (implied by the Arabic لوين روح؟) addresses the existential dilemma facing Lebanon’s youth: the choice between staying to rebuild a fractured homeland or seeking a future abroad. The collection combines intimate environmental portraits with reflective essays by contributors like Kim Ghattas and Georges Boustany, creating a multi-layered narrative on identity, resilience, and the universal search for “home” amidst political and social upheaval.
