Rana Haddad and Pascal Hachem operate at the intersection of art, design, and activism, using both public interventions and crafted objects to challenge socio-political realities. In 2013, they co-founded 200Grs., a Beirut-based studio that rethinks materiality and local craft traditions to create pieces that are at once functional, poetic, and critical. Their practice re-questions the role of art and design as tools for civic engagement, igniting debates and offering alternative narratives to overlooked urban and social issues. Their works have been exhibited internationally such as and Desert X AlUla in Saudi Arabia, and are part of major collections, including the V&A in London.
