OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
'All That Perishes at the Edge of Land': a film by Hira Nabi
FREE but booking essential
Film Screening and talk
Hira Nabi is a Lahore-based writer/director and cinematographer. Her work explores repositories of memory in urban landscapes, contested or imagined histories, labour and struggles around the built and natural environment.
Where do ships go to die? ‘All That Perishes at the Edge of Land’ is filmed at the Gadani ship-breaking
yard in Baluchistan, where condemned vessels are beached and taken apart by men. This film considers the industries built around collapsed vessels as the site of contextual inquiries: destruction of marine ecologies, exploitative labour practices affecting migrant labourers, networks of
industries aggregating wealth, and the disposal of waste in the Global South.
