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
INVITATION ONLY
This workshop will focus on the role of silence in commemoration. The panellists are uniquely well-placed to discuss the practice, meaning and impact of silence, and the discussion will be chaired by a practitioner of acoustic, site-specific composition.
