OxTalks is Changing
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.
The Disappearance of Humanitarianism
The history of humanitarianism has been inseparable from concerns with the forced disappearance of peoples. It has sought to provide protection to those who face possible annihilation and the threat of vanishment. But might humanitarianism itself now be facing its own disappearance in this increasingly hostile world? Join us as we discuss this very question with Gareth Owen OBE, former Humanitarian Director, Save the Children.
The Disappearance of Worlds exhibition will showcase the work of Mexican painter Chantal Meza, whose work for the past decade has confronted the violence, terror, and the complexities of disappearance in both a human and ecological context. Complementing the exhibition will be a series of public talks from world-leading authorities exploring the multiple ways disappearance occurs and the possibilities for response.
The programme is led by the Pembroke College JCR Art Collection; Pembroke College, University of Oxford; The FOUND Project; the Centre for the Study of Violence at the University of Bath; and the Oxford Festival of the Arts, in partnership with other supporting global partners and institutions.
