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
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
