Shoot To Celebrate

Background

Due to years of war in Lebanon, the country suffers from the absence and inefficiency of governmental accountability and lack of civic education. Lebanon has one of the highest corruption rates on the planet, which makes law violations a very common currency.

In Lebanon and almost everywhere in the Middle East, celebratory gunfire is ubiquitous in weddings, funerals and very specifically, following a popular politician’s speech (Salhani, 2014).

The task was to challenge celebratory gunfire, which reflects the unstable political situation in Lebanon and is a barbaric act by itself.
