Hundreds of portraits of exceptional individuals hang on the walls of the University of Oxford: celebrating our past, making visible our values for the future, and helping shape the present environment.
'The Full Picture: Oxford in Portraits' displays 24 newly commissioned portraitrs of a diverse range of people selected from over a hundred nominations of living Oxonians. These portraits are part of the Diversifying Portraiture project supported by the University of Oxford Equality and Diversity Unit. The project, funded by the Vice-Chancellor’s Diversity Fund, has already catalogued existing paintings from around the University that highlight the range of pioneering figures whose achievements over the centuries have challenged the stereotypes of their time.
