Exhibit depicts Arab classrooms
A striking new British Council photography exhibit opened Sunday at the National Museum in Sana’a. Entitled “Classroom Portraits,” the exhibit captures in images and facts the classrooms and views of students in 25 schools across Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Kingdom.
British photographer Julian Germain was commissioned by the British Council to take the series of 24 photographs and ask students about their likes and dislikes, aims and ambitions during each classroom visit. Postcards highlighting statistics from his surveys accompany the photographs.
