Three weeks in Beirut, walking in the neighborhoods that got affected the most by the port explosion. Curtains are used as a sign this time, Serendipitously letting them lead the way. They opened beautiful and awkward encounters, survival stories and poetry. 

In two weeks 42 balcony curtains were renewed for 13 houses. I kept the used ones which I will work with for the upcoming exhibition at Galerie Tanit in November. 

A walk was organized alongside the exhibition, allowing participants to view the interventions and meet some of the locals I interviewed.
