The Middle East Centre is pleased to announce a photograph exhibition 'Three Views of Oman. Wilfred Thesiger, Charles Butt, Edward Grazda. Society and Religion 1945-2006' to be held at St Antony's College on 30th September 2011.

Three Views of Oman Society and Religion 1945-2006 highlights the work of three photographers each of whom sees the world with a distinct gaze. Seen as a whole the exhibition establishes a rich visual culture for Oman over a 70 year period and suggests that individuals as much as civilisations bring their uniqueness to the challenge of Anglo-American and Arab cultural engagement.
