Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
A pop-up exhibition offering a snapshot of the variety of posters held in the APGRD’s archival collections, with speakers from the V&A, the National Theatre (London), and the Universities of Hertfordshire and Oxford.
Foregrounding the work of the designers, illustrators, and photographers, and providing an overview of the evolution of theatrical advertising, the event will explore how different approaches – typographical, illustrative, photographic – enforce, reshape, or reject, shifting cultural notions of ancient Greece and Rome and specific moments within the ancient texts.
from 2.30pm: the Ioannou Centre Outreach Room will be open for people to see the exhibition
from 3pm: move into Ioannou Centre Lecture Theatre for talks starting at 3.15pm, followed by drinks
