The museum gallery presents the exhibition of photographer Valentin Valette, winner of the 2024 Satellite Prize, as part of the L'IMAGE_SATELLITE festival.
24 photographs will be presented during this exhibition where the documentary perspective is combined with an ethnographic approach, and results in a striking dive into the landscapes and social trajectories of the Sultanate of Oman, a territory in full political and economic change. Valentin Valette immortalized the shift in the Sultanate of Oman, and the transition period between the rules of Sultan Qābūs and his cousin Haitham Bin Tarik. A work as much artistic as journalistic for this documentary where the categories of populations express themselves and make us discover the lifestyles of the working class of the Sultanate of Oman.
