AN EXHIBITION of portraits commissioned to showcase the diversity of staff and past students at Oxford University will open later this month.

The Full Picture: Oxford in Portraits begins at the Bodleian’s Weston Library on Friday, November 24 and will feature more than 20 paintings, drawings and photographs commissioned earlier this year as part of the University’s Diversifying Portraiture project.

The initiative features portraits of BBC journalist Reeta Chakrabarti, astrophysicist Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell and human rights activist Kumi Naidoo.
