São Paulo – Last Tuesday evening (23rd) in São Paulo, the embassy of Oman in Brasília inaugurated the exhibition Tolerance, Understanding, Coexistence –Oman’s Message on Islam<\/em>, featuring panels of photographs and texts portraying the history and the culture of the Gulf country. The show was designed by the Omani Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs, backed by the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong> and will be short-lived, lasting until next Friday (27th). From June 30th through July 4th it will feature in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná.<\/p>\n

The exhibition features books written in Arabic and 44 panels recounting the history of Oman, highlighting its culture, architecture, the role of women in society, arts and handicraft. The panels also show that in Oman, Islam, Christianity and Judaism coexist in harmony, as do the Islamic branches of the Sunnis, Shiites and Ibadis. Some of the panels depict the Arab country’s natural landscapes, its economy, the legal system, tourism and infrastructure. All photographs are accompanied by explanatory texts.<\/p>\n

 The show also features four panels with Arabic phrases and words written in relief. When lit up, the words cast shadows resembling people praying. <\/p>\n

At the opening cocktail party held by the Omani embassy, the advisor to the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs, Mohammed Said Al-Mamari, stated that the exhibition aims to show the respect to diversity is a reality in Oman. The show has been to 47 cities in Japan, Germany, United States, United Kingdom, Austria, Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Estonia, Lithuania and Kuwait.<\/p>\n

“It is good to be able to hold the show in Brazil at a time when the country is in the spotlight because of the World Cup. It is a great opportunity to convey our message of tolerance and respect,” said Mamari. “We want to show that our country is a place where different people and cultures coexist peacefully,” he said. After Foz do Iguaçu, the exhibit will leave Brazil and should keep travelling for another three years. According to Mamari, cities in South and North America should host the show.<\/p>\n

 Arab Chamber president Marcelo Sallum said he has travelled to Oman and that the country is a role model when it comes to being in good terms with all Middle East nations. “Commerce requires peace in order to take place. Thus being, we provide support to events of this kind with utmost satisfaction,” he told ANBA.<\/p>\n
