00:00The Beit Beirut Museum's Tell Me South exhibition is taking many visitors in Lebanon down memory lane,
00:08evoking emotions of all kinds in a showcase that aims to preserve the memory of villages destroyed by Israel in
00:16southern Lebanon.
00:18Keys hang like wind chimes from the ceiling of the Beirut Museum, each one symbolizing what was once a home.
00:26Taking place in the Sodeco district venue in the Lebanese capital,
00:30the exhibition has generated massive attention due to its display of family photos,
00:36testimonies and personal stories of visitors that have made their way to the city.
00:42Organizers say the aim is to show South Lebanon through its people far from an image that reduces it to
00:49devastation.
00:51One of the projects on display is, quote, Keys Without Homes, which comprises videos of three southerners who kept keys
01:00to their houses even though they no longer exist.
01:22The exhibition also explores the violence that continues long after ceasefires and the liberation of the South in the year
01:302000.
01:31Videos of Nabatia and notebooks in which visitors wrote down their memories of the South are also on display.
01:39Tell Me South exhibition will continue to be a great day.
01:41We opened Hikile Ajenoub six weeks ago and until today we received more than 7,200 visitors.
01:48That is quite totally unexpected depending on the actual situation in Lebanon.
01:52One part of the exhibition was to let the South explain their story by themselves, by their voice themselves,
02:02but also for the country to stay connected to what's happening in the South.
02:06Tell Me South exhibition will close during the summer vacation and will return in September with new pictures, memories and
02:14stories that will be added by visitors.
02:17Two more questions, friends and pictures!�s
