Its name comes from mina, the Arabic word for port, and it sits in the Stone Gardens building on Darwich Haddad Street in the port district. That location put it about fifty metres from the August 2020 explosion, which destroyed the space and its contents. The centre reopened in March 2022 with support from several foundations. Since then it has shared its rooms with artists and groups who lost their own, run programs like Reels of Beirut, a series of about 50 films showing the city before 1975, and planned a talent hub with co-working space for artists. Director Manal Khader is appointed by the board for a three-year term.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>Mina Image Centre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Based In<\/th>\n<td>Port District, Beirut<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founded<\/th>\n<td>2018<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founders<\/th>\n<td>Fouad Elkoury<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Photography exhibitions, film series, artist co-working space, collaborations with archives and cultural groups<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Website<\/th>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.minaimagecentre.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">minaimagecentre.org<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Non-profit photography and image centre in Beirut&#x27;s port district, showing regional and international photography since 2018.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Mina Image Centre at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Founded in 2018, with photographer Fouad Elkoury as co-founder<\/li>\n<li>About fifty metres from the 2020 port blast epicentre<\/li>\n<li>Reopened in March 2022<\/li>\n<li>Located in the Stone Gardens building, Darwich Haddad Street<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who is behind Mina Image Centre<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fouad Elkoury<\/strong> (Co-founder).
