From June 11 till August 8, the Circle Cinema Gallery will feature a collection of photos by Prof. Rodger Randle, Director of the Center.

The photos are from countries in Asia, South America, Europe, and Africa. The exhibit states, "This is an exhibit of photos about you ...an exhibit in which you are invited to look into the faces of people from distant places to see the reflection of yourself, and to remember that human values, hopes, and dreams are universal."

With each photo is paired a quotation suggested by the photo from one of Prof. Randle's favorite writers.

The Circle Cinema is located at 10 South Lewis in Tulsa. The Gallery is free and open to the public during the normal operational hours of the theatre.
