Summary

This publication deals with the issues of cultural representation. Beirut has mainly been represented in stereotypical ways, ranging from orientalism to terrorism. Recent events and political conflicts have drawn more media coverage and attention to the region and thus reiterating existing preconceptions. Various local artists from different disciplines have contributed to this project, creating a large variety of viewpoints: informative, political, social, cultural, critical, even humorous in image and/or text.
