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

John will be sharing his work on the history embedded within the oral traditions of Southern Africa with a focus on traditional and contemporary ritual and performance in Zimbabwe.
Pete’s research awakens dormant historic threads through the process of translating embodied musical knowledge from one mode to another. He will share the musical lineage of his Ustad and the history of the sarod and the cello. He will also reflect on the movement of performers of Romani origin and how this is entangled in his work. His presentation will be followed by a 10-minute performance on cello.
In this seminar/concert hybrid, we explore artistic movements, performances, and the ever-evolving musical exchanges between the past and the present and across continents and borders. Specifically, we invite participants to think about music and performance as possible sites of preservation, transformation and negotiations of diasporic identities.
