During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.

‘Home is where I set my foot’ (La mia casa è dove poggio i piedi) is a motto used by refugees and forced migrants in Palermo, who frequent the café Moltivolti in Ballaro, the historic, multicultural heart of the city. In this lecture, Marina Warner will explore the potential of imaginative tale-spinning in establishing a sense of place and belonging; she will discuss how words and stories, myths and legends can help give character to unfamiliar territory and build connections and community.
