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.

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.
