Exhibition Guide

[In a bright gallery, two parallel white tables display a number of flat and stacked objects, including photos and VHS tapes. Also on one of the tables, a monitor shows two coated figures with their backs to the camera, leaning on a railing and looking out to a bright blue ocean on a sunny day.]

[Official documents and an older Lebanese woman's pocket-size photo lay on a white surface. Beside an opened envelope, an unfolded paper issued by the U.S. government reads "Notice of Action" at the top. Two other small photos of the same Lebanese woman and a younger woman lay beside the paper.]

[An aged, open Lebanese identification card and photos lay on a white surface. A black and white photo of a smiling young woman with long black hair lays on one of the identification card pages, and three other photos of other women of different ages sparsely surround it. In one, one of the women poses with two young children.]

[A white table with sparsely arranged postcards, passports, and magazines. One postcard shows two women with long, curly, black hair embracing, and another shows a child kissing her grandmother on the cheek.]

[A close-up of a white table with sparsely arranged photos, passports, and magazines. A Time magazine cover reads "MASSACRE IN LEBANON".]

[Passports, family photos, and a book arranged sparsely on a white table. The white cover of the book reads "Witness of War Crimes in Lebanon".]

[In a bright art gallery, a block of vinyl text on the near wall begins, "My week was a little busy. I survived a deadly blast," as artist Omar Mismar recounts his experience of the August 2020 ammonium nitrate explosion in Beirut. Beyond the wall, two tables display paper documents and a TV monitor.]
