OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

This talk introduces Dissociative Realism as a framework that has emerged through Abbas Zahedi’s practice across sound, sculpture, performance, and collective encounters. Drawing on recent projects and institutional contexts, the talk reflects on how artistic labour, care structures, and infrastructural systems intersect, particularly in relation to grief, trust, and forms of public service, offering a reflective overview of my practice to date, alongside the questions and tensions that currently shape it.
