Ghassan Maasri

Mansion is the result of collaborative work by a large, diverse and elastic collective. Mansioners pursue individual practices and collaborate on interdisciplinary projects. Amongst countless activities, the house supports Beirut Medinati, a young political party; campaigns against gentrification; and hosts exhibitions, plays, and readings. A precursor to Mansion was a communal artists’ workshop that Ghassan Maasri initiated in the town of Aley, Lebanon, with 20 local and international artists.
