Ghaleb Cabbabé

How can you feel safe and secure in a place marked by war and disillusionment? Ghaleb Cabbabé explores this question in How Can It Still Be Home?, a highly intimate, emotional, and multilayered documentary about his native Lebanon. Created over a period of more than five years, his work questions the perception and ambivalent notion of home, ties, and belonging. Ghaleb Cabbabé was born in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War.

He trained as an architect and studied photography. His work was among the best entries in the LensCulture and Magnum Photography Awards and has been featured in internationally renowned publications such as Fotofilmic and National Geographic.
