There are two events upcoming in the very near future at the British Omani Society in London which SAF Association members may find particularly interesting. A link to each is below.
26 Feb: Forty-five years with the Harasiis of the Jiddat il-Harasiis
Join social anthropologist Dawn Chatty in a lecture about her forty five year experience with Harasiis tribe in Oman, in which she has documented their social and technological transformations over the years.
5 March: Photobook Launch by Julian Lush: Former Days
Join author Julian Lush, for the UK launch of his photobook “Former Days in Oman.” This fascinating visual record charts his time from 1961 to 1963 working as one of PDO’s Liaison Representatives for the Interior of Oman, responsible for maintaining working relations between the oil company and the local Al-Duru tribesman they employed in the Al Dhahirah region. Lush’s photographs present Oman on the brink of change, a pre-oil era when PDO was still in its early oil exploration phase and Omanis were living in deeply rooted traditional ways.
And don't forget to reserve a place at our joint SAF/BOS event on 14th May.
