‘Haven't 15 Years of Hiding in the Toilets Been Enough?’ is an exhibition presented by artist Nada Sehnaoui in memory of the 15-year Lebanese civil war. The exhibition took place in downtown Beirut in April 2008 and consisted of an installation of 600 toilet seats reflecting 15 years of suffering and trying to avoid shells and armed conflicts often by hiding in the toilet. It involved public discussion of daily life during the Lebanese Civil War as well as testimonies of former fighters including Asaad Chaftari and Mohieddine Chehab.
