On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The lecture presents two cycles of mosaics in San Marco, Venice that need to be better known. They are thus: Mary’s childhood within the western bay of the south transept, and Genesis, which is situated in the atrium.
The research about them is relatively new and, even though at least two books have been written about them, they still need more public exposure.
The lecture can be followed easier if the attendees read in advance my book Elena Ene Drăghici-Vasilescu, ‘Glimpses into Byzantium. Its Philosophy and Arts’ (an anthology of peer-reviewed articles published by the author from 2019 to 2021), Oxford, 2021.
