Omagh Library will host 'Write a Refuge' this month; a photo exhibition organised by Oxfam Ireland.
The exhibition will feature specially written pieces, that will highlight the lives of displaced people and refugees from Central African Republic, South Sudan and Syria.
More than 20 local authors from Ireland, both north and South have contributed pieces of work to the event, including Omagh native Colin Dardis.
The authors were given a single image from one of the affected countries and produced a piece of writing based on their interpretation of what was going on in the image.
