Please note this event is online, accessed via Zoom – 18:00 (UK) / 21:00 (Oman)

In this talk, speakers Janet C.E. Watson FBA and Ali al Mahri interrogate the concept of beauty in relation to Southern Arabia, with a focus on Dhofar. They propose that beauty stems not from one single object or concept of objective beauty, but rather from the rich juxtaposition of objects and concepts of difference.
