OxTalks is Changing
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.

Advertising Antiquity: a pop-up exhibition and discussion on theatrical posters
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
