This report documents the experiences of six cultural initiatives in Lebanon that took on humanitarian and art relief work during Israel’s escalated war in the fall of 2024, and received Mawred’s Lebanon Humanitarian Fund. Based on interviews, group meetings, and field visits, it reflects how these actors mobilized, adjusted, and sustained their work with displaced populations, amid heavy bombardment and abrupt ceasefire. It highlights the practical challenges, emotional toll, ethical considerations, and forms of solidarity that shaped their response. In doing so, it situates cultural relief not as a temporary deviation but as a meaningful practice anchored in long-standing commitments to social engagement, and considers its potential as an infrastructural and ethical component of cultural work in contexts of recurrent crisis.
