The exhibit opened only a couple of weeks after violent clashes had broken out throughout Lebanon. The show was held in Beirut's Dahiye neighborhood, a predminantly Shi'a neighborhood and Hezbullah stronghold. Regardless, over one hundred people came to the opening and many more attended during following weeks.
