The Lamson Library and Learning Commons is pleased to welcome the exhibition Explore Other Lands: a Journey into the Arabic World by Najwa O’Hara.

Ms. O’Hara was born in Mosul, a small city in the north of Iraq. After she finished her high school studies, she studied at the University of Mosul and graduated from the same university with a AAS and BA. Presently, she is an MBA student and a member of the Fellowship Program in the Business department at PSU. In her artist’s statement, Ms. O’Hara noted that “her jobs as an Arabic special tutor, translator, interpreter and Executive Assistant for International companies in numerous countries exposed her to other cultures and taught her how to respect and appreciate the differences between people.”

The exhibition contains a selection of 20 items including photographs (like the one above), spices, copper and silver work, and beautiful tea and coffee accessories .

Please stop and visit this lovely exhibit on the Main Level of Lamson. Materials will be on display through September 30th.
